LITERACY: OTHER WAY TO LOOK AT IT

“Human rights are "rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled".[1] Proponents of the concept usually assert that everyone is endowed with certain entitlements merely by reason of being human.[
The right to education
Main article: Right to education
Article 13 of the Covenant recognizes the right of everyone to education. This is to be directed towards "the full development of the human personality and the sense of its dignity",[14] and enable all persons to participate effectively in society. Education is seen both as a human right and as "an indispensable means of realizing other human rights", and so this is one of the longest and most important articles of the Covenant.[45]
Public participation is a political principle or practice, and may also be recognized as a right (right to public participation). The terms public participation may be used interchangeably with the concept or practice of stakeholder engagement and/or popular participation” HUMAN RIGHT WATCH...

LITERACY, understood as a social practice, is not only a way of participation but also a right.

THANKS A LOT

I JUST WANT TO THANK MABEL AND YVETH TO HAVE OUR BOOK PRINTED...

YOU GIRLS DID SUCH A GREAT JOB!

Late...

Since some of our classmates sent their texts toooo late, I was not able to have it printed for today as I was supposed to. So, I already have the copies but the "book" is going to be ready on Monday. I hope it is not too late! We owe teacher Sol an apology for being late!
There are some of you guys that have not paid yet, and I'm still waiting for the money, please!. You can reach me at office 2016 in our building, I'll be there until 7:00 pm today and tomorrow until 5pm.

Thanks!

About the so-called: "BOOK"...

We have not received all of the texts you were suppose to send Mabel this weekend in order to organize them and to be able to print the "book" these Tuesday so it can be ready for Thursday!! Remember that we have to pay more or less $10.000 pesos each book, so please make sure you guys bring the money on Tuesday and hand it to Mabel or Me. It is just a little more effort we need, it is almost finished, let's make it!! Please guys send your texts and bring the money ASAP!!!
Thanks,

Iveth

Hi!!! I want to propose "a quasi" another title:

Navigating in Academic Writing

A collection of different students' works

And the following pictures according to the title…

What do you think? A, B, or C... Or any …

for the cover visit this page:

THE TITLE/THE IMAGE FOR THE COVER

I've been thinking about the title and I liked the one John Alex proposed in the classroom("ACADEMIC WRITING FOR/BY DUMMIES"), and after we voted it as a definitive title for the book I heard many of you guys complaining about it, however I did not hear any proposal at all. If you guys do not like the title we decided, you should just give an idea about what would you like it to be. However, we do not have much time to think for a long period of time, so if there is not any other idea, we'll keep that title.

For those who did not like it, because of the word DUMMIES, I have news for you:
according to wikipedia (not the most reliable source but is basic and simple) For Dummies is an extensive series of instructional / reference books which are intended to present non-intimidating guides for readers new to the various topics covered. Despite the title, their publisher has taken great pains to emphasize that the For Dummies books are not literally for dummies. The subtitle for every book is, "A Reference for the Rest of Us!". To date, over 1,700 For Dummies titles have been published. The series has been a worldwide success with editions in numerous other languages.
The books are an example of a media franchise, consistently sporting a distinctive cover — usually yellow and black with a triangular-headed cartoon figure known as the "Dummies Man", and an informal, blackboard-style logo. The icons and much of the design was originally done by University Graphics, a Palo Alto design firm.[citation needed] Prose is simple and direct; bold icons, such as a piece of string tied around an index finger, are placed in the margin to indicate particularly important passages.
Almost all Dummies books are organized around sections called "parts", which are groups of related chapters. Parts are almost always preceded by a Rich Tennant comic that refers to some part of the subject under discussion. Sometimes the same Tennant drawing reappears in another Dummies book with a new caption.

Looking forward to hearing for your ideas about it!!!

Dear students,
As some of you have complained about not having finished your texts, you can use this class time to refine your work and review your classmates' projects so that the compilation is ready by Friday.
I have posted the link to a tutorial about book binding. Hope it will be useful.

THE UGLY DOOR

I want to share something I found on the web...

"It is extremely important to understand how important the title of your article or book is. Your title is the door to your article. If you have an old , ugly and rusty door few people will come up through it.

Now, how you build a good title? Think why people would want to read your article: could help them somehow? Would they get information from it? Would they learn something? Reading your article would improve their quality of life somehow? These are questions that you should ask yourself in order to start building a POWERFUL title"

Moreover the title has to be faithful to the content and to the proces through which the content was built. Having " academic writing for dummis or whatever it is" as the title of our book is not fair nor faithful to our process. Accordingly I propose "I READ THEN I WRITE students authorial voices" as our beautiful DOOR.
