Paper #2

This is for the blog assignment last week. At first, I wanted to go with the primary/secondary discourse prompt for our second long essay. However, many people in the class had the same idea. So, I changed up some of my quotes and main points in the essay and chose to write about the definition of literacy and how it will affect my future. I chose to use Gee and Delpit to support my essay. The only problem I had was choosing what to write about because literacy is all we have truly discussed this year. Also, I had trouble connecting the definition of it to my future. All in all, I thought this essay caused me to think more creatively due to the broader prompt and more options. However, I am not sure what to write back to my peers today in our discussion forum concerning the reviews.
