Literacy with my Grandma

 

For the Literacy assignment, I got a hold of my Grandma Mary Anne, who not is a huge inspiration to me and was the one who encouraged me more than anyone to go to college, but also happens to have the memory of an elephant and was born in 1929, putting her far beyond most people I know in age. In the interview, though very short, I learned not only a lot about her but some things came to light about my own experience growing up and being around her. This is something I definitely will do again.

 This is the last question I asked, I thought it was really interesting.

In the next ten years, what will reading and writing become? What skills and understandings about online literacy will people need to have? Why? A. Probably will be done electronically, I don’t think people will hold books anymore. The reason I say that is because a lot of my friends already have a kindle reading. It would be sad to me to not hold a book or read it. It’s the only disappointed thing really, it’s hard to go back to it.
