literacy means you can read and write
literacy means you can read and write
We must have the same dictionary!
That's exactly what my friends and I said. But my English teacher gave us such a broad definition of literacy to explore, that I was immediately drawn into conversation about how deaf people think of literacy. Visual literacy does include interpretation of body language, gesture and symbol.I think you can "read" people's emotions much more readily through sign language than you can through written word.
Extinguish my sight, and I can still see you;
plug up my ears, and I can still hear;
even without feet I can walk toward you,
and without mouth I can still implore.
Break off my arms, and I will hold you
with my heart as if it were a hand;
strangle my heart, and my brain will still throb;
and should you set fire to my brain,
I still can carry you with my blood.
This guy expressing any emotions?
I'm not sure I understand. Do you think literacy is solely a form of social power?it means you nearly have the same amount of social power as the hearies does...to a point...
My teacher defines literacy as "making and participating in meaning". What does it mean to you?
your English teacher should stick with the word "fluency" rather than trying to reinvent the word or something.
