What is Social Literacy!?
What does it mean to be socially literate?!
As I began my new school year teaching eight grade math both in an integrated setting and self-contained setting, I find myself questioning how can I bring a new dynamic into my classroom?
How can I tie literacy into a math classroom? As I took the first few classes to really get to know my students, I discovered that as pre-teens, they are social butterflies and get most of their inspiration and drive from their social lives. With this in mind, I decided to research social literacy.
As I researched what social literacy is, I found that social literacy is, "the ability to make socially productive decisions."
Upon my research, I discovered that when incorporating social literacy into the classroom, it is not about just guiding my students to understand the interpersonal cooperation. Social literacy is also about becoming familiar with their peers cultural norms.
As I begin my research, I am questioning how can I incorporate this idea of social literacy into my everyday math lessons and how can I engage my students outside of the classroom that enhancing both their social literacy and their mathematical literacy?
