Literacy Image
I found my image and immediately thought about a million things at once. First of all, it shows that there are so many different types of literacy and people do not have to be excluded. Also, I began to wonder things such as what this man was reading? It looks like a board used in schools to teach young children how to read. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that in the upper right hand corner of the board, we see the word literacy written in English. Does that mean that the picture was staged? I did not want that to be true but regardless, this image shows that literacy is everywhere and can reach anybody.

I agree that there is a wide variety of literacy practices. This also includes language and culture. I like that you pointed out that literacy is everywhere and can reach anyone. In some countries literacy can be taught in a different language such as English. In this picture it looks as thought this man is learning English. I also hope that this picture isn’t staged because then it can be seen as a misconceived conception of what it is actually portraying.
