During phase 1, I read different types of reading about language and literacy. These readings made me see more about the stereotypes about culture, language, and literacy and how language and literacy impact someone’s life, also the readings talks about how society interpreted language and literacy.

The different activities we did in class improved my writing and helped me comprehend what the author said more in-depth. For example, the rhetorical situation worksheet helped me understand the readings better because we had to answer some questions based on the reading in which the answers were not obvious. Hence, I had to do some critical thinking, which made me understand the reading more in-depth.
