Visual of Your Thinking about Language, Literacy and Culture - Aryn Forsythe

By forsytae

  • Introduction to the Course

    The first event on my timeline is the “Introduction to the Course.” This is when culture was first defined and when I learned of its importance.

  • The Languages of School and Community: Intersections?

    The second event on my timeline is “The Languages of School and Community: Intersections?” It is during this time that sociolinguistics was defined for us.

  • The Gaps and Intersections of Community and School

    The third event on my timeline is “Discourse with a Capital and Small Case ‘D’ - Language at Home and at School.” I learned that language can be helpful and harmful.

  • The Dicourses of Borderlands, Identity, Language and School

    The fourth event on my timeline is “The Discourse of Borderlands, Identity, Language and School.” Teachers need to be more understanding of their student’s backgrounds. It’s important to incorporate their culture and language into your classroom.
