Activity 1: Introduction to the 21st Century Literacies

In 200-300 words give your answers. Except for number 4.

1. Compare and contrast the traditional concept of literacy to the modern view of literacy.
 If traditional literacy means the ability to read and write effectively, then digital literacy
means the ability to communicate and create digitally. Digital literacy or modern literacy
is now a fundamental component of literacy learning, from teaching reading
comprehension to writing and communication.
2. Describe the changes in the 21st century that have led to the rise of new literacies.
 "New literacies” that arise from new technologies include things like text-messaging,
blogging, social networking, podcasting, and video making. These digital technologies
alter and extend our communication abilities, often blending text, sound, and imagery.
3. With a partner of a triad, brainstorm and answer this question: What teaching strategies and
forms of assessment could you use to help develop functional literacy?
 The teaching strategies that readers use to make sense of reading: making connections,
visualizing, inferring, questioning, determining importance, and synthesizing. Instruction
for teaching literacy strategies is typically done in a workshop format.
4. Individual Lesson Planning and Lesson Demonstration "RECORDED 3-5 minutes" (APPLY 4As):
Prepare and deliver a lesson that incorporates some of the new literacies. Refer to CTE for the
updated templates and rubrics.
