Asking students to bring in sample literature from their neighborhood and home is one good idea. You can ask them about where they found these artifacts and why it is literacy. They can write down their answers in literacy logs or discuss them with a group. Students can also take pictures of the literacy in their lives. They could even put their pictures in a collage and discuss them.
Literacy is an important part of all our lives.
