Activity #1

Quote:
"Explicit teaching of 21st-century literacy meta skills can position students to analyze and evaluate news reporting in today’s visually drenched world."

Response:
I chose to write about this quote because, in my opinion, it is true. It would be good for students to know more about what is going on in the world, and it would be even better if they actually wanted to. If students were taught about 21st-century literacy meta skills, they would probably be more interested in it. Also, if students are more interested in the subject, it would be much easier to teach them about it.



"Semiotics is the study of how the reading of signs and symbols together communicate complicated ideas in the form of codes."

Basic textual literacy uses various media to communicate ideas and feelings to readers. Both basic and visual literacy Depend on active structure of meaning through a procedure of interpreting codes and signs."Teaching must capitalize on students’ preferred literacy behaviors online. Simple techniques, such as cutting back the URL, or pasting the author’s name or an asserted fact into a search engine, can validate authority or confirm bias."

"The tools of visual, media, and information literacy must be taught in school because they will (or won’t) be used at home." A student who is media-literate knows that dramatic news can draw an audience.
