In this blog post I will be Reflecting on What is Literacy? (James Paul Gee) and creating found poetry trying to take out the meanings of the full readings for To You, I Belong (Becky Thompson), Our Discourse Community Values, and We Are Many (Pablo Neruda). What is Literacy? (James Paul Gee) Reflection-
This writing is about a linguists named James Paul Gee who discuses different ways to define discourse and how the meaning could fluctuate. He talks about power and how using standard Academic language is the dominant discourse and can bring you closer to earning goods and resources with a better chance then if you are apart of the black vernacular discourse. Which is the language that most African American middle class-man used to use. Gee also talks about the difference between learning and acquiring. Learning is something that takes time because you are not around these things everyday and you're trying to learn to remember and use what you're learning properly. Acquiring is something you get from just being around it. Such as your first language.

I love the way you did your found poems. Nice job and the creativity was definitely shown in this blog. It was also great how you explained James Paul Gee literature and broken down the differences between the two classes of literature.

I agree with your reflection for "what is literacy?" by James Paul Gee when he compared learning and acquiring. It is actually what we deal with everyday whether in our english class or outside of school
