Literacy

Literacy to me means the ability to read and comprehend the written English Language. Literacy means to me as an FSU student in the 21st century, the ability to use your reading skills to help you in every subject of study, not just English class. It is necessary in our current day to be literate in order to succeed in life, especially college. I think it is not necessary for the English class to adventure out of the realm of text base writing because the class is an opportunity for students to perfect their reading and writing skills before they must enter their major. I do think it would be appropriate though to create another class specifically for roaming the different types of literacy composition. I think that the ENC classes should be based on scholarly writing and reading because those types of literary education is necessary to be successful throughout college, no matter what class it is. I think that it wouldn’t hurt to learn different types of composition; I actually think it would be beneficial because it would expand our literacy education horizon. But I think it is not the place for the basic English class but instead maybe a class titled the Exploration of Composition.
