[SOLVED] Literacy Glossary

I’m working on a Writing question and need guidance to help me study.

You will develop a glossary of literacy terms relating to vocabulary of literacy learning in the content areas that I hope you will find useful as you enter the field. This notebook will consist of 30 self-selected reading and writing vocabulary terms we read about and learn over the course of this class.

Entries for the glossary must include quotes from our reading that include the term, a definition of the term if it is not provided within our texts, and any other paraphrase or explanation that will help you remember the term. Some entries may have multiple sources of definitions as various texts we will read will offer different ways of explaining concepts.

Sample Glossary Entry:

1. Schema:

• “how information that has been learned is stored in the brain and, with repeated use, becomes part of a system of integrated knowledge” (Richardson, Morgan, and Fleener, 2012, p. 56)
• It’s the organization of what we already know, i.e., prior knowledge
• The plural is schemata.
• The restaurant example – Because we’ve had many experiences with restaurants, we have a basic understanding of what to expect and do when we go to a new restaurant.
