Sponsors of Literacy - 2 views

This article by Deborah Brandt focus on the relationship between learners and sponsors of literacy. The text discusses how there is a duality to this sponsorship where institutions support growth of literacy and in turn expect the learners to go on to represent their institution positively. This is an logical and economic relationship that occurs everywhere and I wish to use this to understand how this relates to students in the ITEC program. The students in ITEC are asked to write about something related to education in the English 130 class.

This text written by Linda Flowers and John R. Hayes focuses on a few different types of understandings of the writing process. They go into great detail about the separation between continual writing process and planning or goal oriented writing process. This text is very technical and deals primarily with rhetorical strategies of writing and overall development of a paper. I think this text is very useful for anyone who wishes to know some of the more technical terminology and theories about the writing process and I hope to apply this information as a background or supporting information about college writing composition.
