Blog Post 6 Literacy

"The standards establish guidelines for English language arts (ELA) as well as for literacy in history/social studies, science, and technical subjects. Because students must learn to read, write, speak, listen, and use language effectively in a variety of content areas, the standards promote the literacy skills and concepts required for college and career readiness in multiple disciplines."
Going off of this quotation, understanding and apply literacy is essential in everyday life for basic ways of communication to applying it in higher opportunities in the real world after college when starting a career.
We notice that when certain ages hit grades 6, specificity comes into play. What this means is that teachers of all subjects must include ways to incorporate specific ways to read and write for that age level starting at 6-12th grade. This is where preparedness for life outside the classroom starts and is taken very seriously for someone who will go out and succeed in the world of the 21st century. 
Analyzing poetry is an excellent example of how literature can make us feel, what we can see with just words on a piece of paper, and what metaphors we can get from the poem. We see imagery in poetry, we can feel and see anger in words; even happiness and sorrow with some analyzation through reading.

 A detailed description of the text.  This book is about how the comic industry has changed the face of "visual literacy" in ALL subjects based on common core standards. The Common Core State Standards now explicitly recommends the use of comics in the modern classroom. It also gives examples of how they use the comics in readings, writing, math, social studies, language arts, and science.    2. Please explain why you chose this text. What was your rationale? How does your understanding of this text influence your thinking about your teaching. The reason I chose this book was because of the cover.
