For the hour I will be participating in a #literacies chat about contemporary texts & the new practices they afford: literacieschat.wordpress.com/2012/06/19/jun…- Sounds like some people will be late to #literacies chat tonight. Who do we have with us now?
@writerswriting I'm here (tweeting from the great state of Utah this time)! #literacies- Shall we begin #literacies chat? Q1: What habits of mind, approaches & skills do we want in the interp & comp of participatory texts?
- I recently wrote a chp w/G.Hull in which we explore the idea of "hospitable" stances in #literacies. I blogged as well: developingwriters.org/2012/02/21/a-n…
Contemporary #literacies often seen as exclusively belonging to digital age reproduce 19c modes of part. writing in the serial #justanote- Yes! And in contemporary texts I'd add questioning yourself. RT @LitProfSuz: #literacies To quote George Carlin, "Question everything."
- @writerswriting The ability to be adaptable, to be an independent learner/thinker, to learn to decode many kinds of sign systems #literacies
- @vic_reader Can you tell us more about what you mean "in the serial"? #literacies
#literacies Also, how to listen and respond to each other in a constructive manner, not destructive.- @linlouj Yes and how to make sense of new genres and forms on sight. #literacies
@LitProfSuz Thinking skills are foundational to listen/respond to each other and challenges in/out of school #literacies- @writerswriting Yes! And, how do you teach that ability to make sense-without necessarily teaching the genres themselves? #literacies
- So what of these approaches are unique to the texts we are seeing now? #literacies
- @writerswriting Esp. active reading practices - readers suggesting direction to writers as serial text is always in progress #literacies
- @writerswriting @linlouj Yes, and persisting through "readings" and providing evidence and understanding #literacies
- @writerswriting eg Dickens receiving letters begging him not to 'kill' Little Nell #literacies.
- @vic_reader @writerswriting So, an active reading that is almost like collaborative writing/composing? #literacies
Radway's Reading the Romance book comes to mind with this conversation. #literacies
