TRAJECTORIES OF LITERATE ACTIVITY

1. I saw an issue that is in the US, and I decided to address it. I put my thoughts down on paper as well as a peer and a pofessional's thoughts about the issue, then typed up the article for the English class. Now other people from class may read my article, and I may have it published in a local newspaper. If published, it would have an even bigger trajectory to the local populous. Often newpapers today put all their articles on line, so my article could be read by whoever stumbles across the site.

2. I used other online newspapers as a guide for how to accomplish writing my own.

3. As of now, only a few peers have read my article to help give me feedback on how to make it better.

4. Now other people from class may read my article, and I may have it published in a local newspaper. If published, it would have an even bigger trajectory to the local populous. Often newpapers today put all their articles on line, so my article could be read by whoever stumbles across the site. I will also show it to other music majors here at ISU.

5. They may discuss the information in the article with their friends and family.  They could post a facebook status about it or blog about it.  The Music Education majors will be able to apply the suggestions of fixing the current problem when they get their own teaching jobs.

6. Could be stored on a flash drive or as a word doc.  could be disseminated to others by paper copies, online newpapers, blogs....

7.  It could be used to make an informative poster?

8. It challenges changing the way that Music Educators teach as well as challenging them to try to change peoples mindset on an issue.
