| Summarize the article — include your reaction, thoughts, anything to help you remember its claims. 100 to 150 words | This article talks about the breakdown of what Ms. Brandt refers to “Sponsors of Literacy” and how they have and will affect the future of literature. While I was reading it, I was really interested to see how exactly she was going to explain how literacy was a connection to the individual development and then how it was also an economic development. |
| Define new terms and concepts by quoting or paraphrasing the original author. | “Sponsors seemed a fitting term for the figures who turned up most typically in people’s memories of literacy learning: older relatives, teachers, priests, supervisors, military officers, editors, influential authors.”
When I first saw this word I automatically thought about money. Like the sponsors people get to publicize themselves in the acting/sports etc. world. So although this word isn’t necessarily new to me this meaning was a new one. |
