When and Where Did I Find It?: This word came up in a reading I did in the Handbook of Reading Research. The reading was about the social basis of literacy as a learning activity.
What it means: The act of setting apart or taking for one's own use.
Level of Familiarity: I am familiar with the word appropriate, but I was unable to understand the word within the context of the Handbook.
Do I Want to Know This Word Well and Why?: Because this is a major theme in the Vygotsky reading, I feel as a literacy specialist I should know this word well. I should know how to use it professionally but also the significance it has to inform my teaching practice.
Is This a Word That I Want Others to Know Well?: I think this word is important for others to know. It holds a very important meaning when discussing fiscal political subjects.
Hi Sophia. This is a great start to your blog. However, as you continue to refine this entry make sure you to use APA to cite Handbook.
ReplyDeleteAlso, is there a key phrase or line from the Handbook itself that you could include in the second section to help you fully understand how this word is used in this particular context?
One last note... you seem to be missing entry 3:2? Did you draft it and not publish your entry?
Make sure you have this posted as well as beginning to work on your entries for week 4.
