Where/What will you visit? Why did you choose to go there?
We have decided to visit our local library. We chose to go there because this is a resource that students have the most resources at access to them terms of literacy. Regardless of socio-economic status, students can enjoy different resources at no cost to them. I am hoping to see that the library is a resource that students use in their community. There are a lot of literary elements in a library and I am hoping that this is a good resource for the students.
Another place to visit is a local restaurant that students attend a lot. We chose this as a place to visit because it is a connection to our students. We want to see what type of literacy learning goes on at this restaurant. From the basics we expect to see menu’s that students read to order the food and using their oral language skills to take what they have read on the menu and communicate it to the waiter/waitress. We want to visit a place where students don’t realize literacy is going on. A restaurant is much different then libraries, where students know literacy elements are present.
A final place we are considering visiting is our own media center at our school. We are interested to see what they have to offer in terms of resources. As a place where students can visit frequently and easily, we are interested to see what types of resources students have and what resources they take advantage of. As with the local library I am hoping to see that students utilize this resource for themselves.
