I really enjoyed reading your research paper on Vivian Vasquez and her theory of critical literacy. I found it to be very intriguing and can see the benefit it plays in education, especially in today’s society. I believe it's important for teachers to incorporate how diverse society is into the lessons we teach. I believe many teachers are incorporating the theory of critical literacy in some form into their classroom. I loved your example of the how a teacher could implement critical literacy into their classroom with a lesson on voting during a presidential election. This reminded me of the many conversations my students and I had during this past election. I can see the benefit of critical literacy, and how it is important not only to the students, but to the teachers as well.
I truly enjoyed reading your research paper on Vivian Vasquez. I believe the critical literacy theory is important to include in the classroom to meet the needs of all learners. I love how Vasquez emphasizes the importance of critical literacy through the use of discussions, reading groups, and writing each day. As an educator it is important to teach the required standards in addition to current events that are occurring in our world. I love the idea of a 5 minute open discussion either at the beginning or end of class where students have the opportunity to share their ideas and pose questions to current event topics. All in all, great paper!
I honestly have to say that I loved reading your paper! Vivian seems like an amazing role model for all who want to be leaders in literacy. One party I really found interesting was her book "Getting Beyond I Like the Book" It shows that she truly cared about children and what they read! She really wanted everyone to read what they loved to read. I like the open discussion ideas as well. Whenever students have a chance to talk or ask questions, they seem to more engaged and focus! Literacy discussions make them feel involved. I really liked your paper and learning about Vivian Vasquez!
