I wonder what literocracy is....(150)...I have an idea of the concept of literate and equal individuals?
I appreciate the relationship between the written and spoken language, but I am not fully aware of how the two influence each other. I have some anecdotal evidence such as witnessing children of deaf (and even blind) parents, but I never had the opportunity to study these kids.
I do know that often the reticent child has not proven to be the better writer in my classes...
154 - "Oral and written language are dynamically interrelated, as Britton (1970) argued, but the nature of the speaking/writing matrix -- and of the 'voice' itself -- depends on the kind of communicative situation (i.e., the cultural practice) and on the particular social happening (i.e., the ongoing event). -- This is key to what I hope to project as literacy and success to my students. I want them to critically evaluate a situation so that they may understand the semantic, rhetoric, syntax and then respond appropriately so that they will be Literately-empowered and not subject to the tactics of the established powers/authorities.
