Coming To An End....

This semester has brought up the importance of literacy in any subject field which has definitely taught me something. I never really thought of how literacy was used in any subject other than reading and writing classes. This class has discussed what literacy was, what components made up literacy, and helped me look for it in my own field.
Learning the significance of literacy has taught me that I should integrate it as much as I can in my lesson plans. When using different components of literacy in health and physical education, I have found it to be affective in different ways. Instead of just teaching how to play a sport, I could have my students read about it and talk about it in groups. This is just one example of how literacy can be used in a variety of ways.
