One annotation I made while reading Brandt was when I highlighted the sentence “This even as we recognize that the most pressing issues we deal with – tightening associations between literate skill and social viability, the breakneck pace of change in communications technology, persistent inequities in access and reward – all relate to structural conditions in literacy’s bigger picture”. However, I want to know what the bigger picture is. What is the bigger picture they mention in this reading?
Another annotation I made was when I highlighted examples of sponsors… Older relatives, supervisors, military officers, editors, and influential authors… These are all people who can have an impact on your learning and life.
Lastly, one of the annotations I made was when I highlighted the different types of lifestyles two people had in the cases that were explained. “Raymond Branch, as the son of an academic was sponsored by some of the most powerful agents of the university… Dora Lopez was being sponsored by what her parents could pull from the peripheral service systems of the university”. This shows how different two people’s lives can be and how they both come to self teach what they need to know.
