Since I've missed quite a few blog post's I've had to go back and make up what I've missed.
The first blog post that I missed was the one about the Literacy Mapping Mini Assignment we did around campus.
For my assignment I chose to sit outside of Woodward. I chose to listen to the different types of music people play from their cars as they drove by. This is actually something I noticed one day while I was waiting for one of my classes to begin. A lot of students like to play their music loud as they cruise around campus and so I decided to begin listening.
Music is a huge part of literacy in my opinion; in fact I think it's the most common form of literacy used by people. Everyone listens to music. What kind of music you listen to can change your mood, or tell someone something about you. You can communicate with other people through music. Music is everywhere and used for everything.
As I sat and listened to the music people chose to play, I heard a lot of different stuff. A girl in a truck playing country music, a guy in a sports car playing mainstream radio, another girl was listening to some kind of foreign music, and one guy was blasting Nirvana.
All of this just got me thinking about how much of an impact music has on our lives and how huge of a form of literacy it is.
