Final Paper

I have put a bit more thought into the final paper and have pretty much come to a decision about my topic. We have spent a fairly large amount of time in this class on the concept of literacy introduced by James Gee. I feel like Gee's writing on literacy has been the backbone of much of our discussions and writings. So I have decided to hit upon Gee's idea of conflict between discourses and focus not on conflicts that might occur due to socio-economic conditions or language barriers, but rather on conflicts that might occur due to a learning disability. There are many students who possess average or above average intelligence but have difficulty in the school environment because of various learning disabilities, dyslexia for instance. How can we as future educators recognize this and what can we do to facilitate the acquisition of the discourse? Look for these questions to be ultimately and definitively answered in my paper, or at least addressed in a semi-thorough manner.
