Think of a situation to illustrate what a literacy event is. Analyze how social identities are displayed in that situation.

Compare/Contrast the two definitions of discourse you find in the article. In which aspects are they similar? In which aspects are they different?

Discuss and exemplify the two meanings the expression “Being educated” has in the Brazilian context.

Do you consider that literacy shaming is a form of symbolic violence in Colombia? Establish a relation between the case of Brazil and our case.

Do you consider that minority groups are discriminated or ridiculed at the Universidad del Valle, Cali because of their patterns of speech and their degree of literacy? Explain your answer.

In the adult literacy education program reported in the article, there were students who didn't stop viewing themselves as social inferiors. What cultural artifacts could help them reach their goal of literacy equality?
