Burnell asks us to consider various literate identities: citizen, consumer, lifelong learner, and global citizen. What do you think of these categories as they apply to you and your students? Are there other identities that should be added? Why?

Semingson asks us to think about the following questions: What is literacy? Why do we teach literacy? How do we teach it? How would you begin to answer these questions?

What literacy skills are required of the discipline you teach? What skills are important for your students to know in order to master the discorse of your discipline?

Considering what you may know or presume about your students’ reading habits, hobbies and technology use, what literacy skills might they already present? How could you leverage their prior knowledge & skills in the classroom?
