Literacy in Math
Taking a reading class this semester seems a little surprising for this math major.  My concern heading into this class was the question:  How does reading affect my students?  To me, math and reading only share language together, so the start of this class was a little surprising to me.  Literacy in math seems like a weird combination, but over the first few weeks, I feel like I have started to open up to the idea.

Literacy is something that I really do not know how to describe, really because I have never thought about it before this class.  As of right now, I am really looking forward to learning how literacy affects not just my subject, but all subjects.  From what I have gathered so far from this class, each subject has its own literacy.  These separate Lits. are all built upon the same basic blocks that allow for development across all areas.

Since this is a reading class, we are reading books that relate to our content areas.  Since I am a part of the math group, I get to read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.  I really look forward to reading this book, and from what I've heard about it, it is a classic.  I'm a fan of Sci-Fi, and from what I've read from the first couple chapters, it's going to be a good book for me.
