Our group chose to meet by the Belk Tower and walk around campus to discover different objects that hold literacy for our fieldwork.
The first object we looked at was the Belk Tower. We talked about how the tower is used by students to post news about events happening around campus (I've noticed a lot of Greek ads and such by the tower). We also talked about how the tower isn't just a bell tower, but also a piece of art as it is supposed to represent a fountain pen and ink bottle.
After the tower we walked around some of the art buildings and found what seemed to be a blacksmith shop. Then we wandered into the gardens and found a memorial for Bonnie E. Cone and a rock that some students chose to graffiti. Further into the gardens we found a shack that also had some interesting graffiti markings inside it. We then went back to main campus towards the Echo Circle, which was really interesting for me because I had no idea what the 'echo circle' was. After that we wandered through SAC and looked at some bulletin boards and other more obvious forms of literacy.
In conclusion, we found a lot of different objects around campus that could encompass the idea of 'literacy'.
