QQC 7/6

1. Yancey talks quite a bit about learning/teaching English and writing in particular in today's technological age. One quote that stuck out, said by Elizabeth Daley, was that "no longer can students be considered truly educated by mastering reading and writing alone." If we parallel that quote with the way that Yancey talks about reading and writing becoming extracurricular activities due to all these new genres, can it then be said that the students are starting to, or maybe are on their way to, becoming better equipped in reading and writing in these new genres? If they are learning these genres outside of school, such as blogging and social media platforms, and "master" composition as it is taught in the classroom, will we become the ones left behind?

2. I really appreciated Royster's piece about bordering boundaries and the authenticity of multiple voices-- and it was interesting to see her reference Anzaldua because that was the first thought I had when I read this piece. Throughout this past week and last, we have talked about the writing process and how writing can be seen as something fluid, something that doesn't fit into just one box or shape or pattern. And I liked how Royster says that we need to keep our boundaries fluid. In what ways do you see you doing that in the classroom, because I'm sure we all know that the classroom will be quite diverse? And how do you keep boundaries fluid while also making sure to communicate in the same language/ how do you tie the multiple voices together?
