February 6th homework

Summary:
In her article "Sponsors of Literacy," Deborah Brandt discusses ways that people become literate and how literacy is sponsored by people. She talks about "literacy sponsorship" and how sponsors are "figures who turned up most typically in people's memories of literacy learning."
QD
1. She defines literacy sponsor as "forces that shape our literacy learning and practices." Literacy sponsors are knowledgeable, wealthy, and religious.
3.They misappropriate because they only take into account the upper and middle class students not the students with limited access.
4.Stratified is how the status of people is organized and the stakes shes referring to are something that limits someone.
AEI
1. My literacy sponsors were my teachers, coaches and parents. My family taught me basic things, my teachers taught me academics, and my coaches taught me teamwork. I think that these were adequate sponsors and I can't think of any literacy's that I wish I would have had access to.
Reflection:
I did really understand this article that well so I didn't find it very interesting. Because I didn't really understand it I'm not really sure how useful it will be to me but maybe once we discuss it in class it will be more clear and I will be able to use it. I could compare this to my experiences because I have had people I could consider sponsors in my life. I agree with what she is saying how sponsors are influences on our literacy's.
