different composition?

To say a person is literate is literally saying a person is able to read and write, having or showing knowledge of literature. To me, an FSU student, the word “literacy” represents the idea a person understands, comprehends, and uses literature and writing throughout their everyday life. I think the English classroom should adventure outside the realm of text-based writing to other forms of composition but still continue the usual educational techniques as well. It is, and always will be important to study text based writing such as encyclopedias and text books, but is it really that out of line to study documentary movies, audio, or maps? Of course it is practical to rely on the traditional genres of academic and scholarly writing, we have been for years. I think as long as we keep doing that, we can also use other compositions of your choice. It does not behoove me to learn composition in other genres, I think it would be rather interesting. Although it is important to properly research data, it is simply no fun. I think using documentary, magazines, or any other type would be a nice change from the traditional ways of studying. I think the English class is a perfect place to experiment with frivolous methods of composition, where else would one do so? I may not suggest performing such methods in a Harvard English major’s classroom, but rather find a base level and see what happens.
