Museums have long served a purpose as cultural staples. For every museum, big and small, careful consideration is used in selecting its contents. When securing new items for a museum, it is most important to consider public appeal, educational value, and cost-effectiveness.

Let me begin by saying that my journey in literacy may be far different from others. Often times it based on the environmental influences and socioeconomically circumstances of a person’s exposure to educational institutions. My reflection does not look at these in determining my level of literacy and education, which have prepared me for Secondary Education. As Deborah Brandt defines in her article Sponsors in Literacy, “Intuitively, sponsors seemed a fitting term for the figures who turned up most typically in people’s memories of literacy learning: older relatives, teachers, priests, supervisors, military officers, editors, influential authors” (167).

Literacy plays a huge role in many people’s lives everyday, whether it is learning how to read and write for the first time or writing a five-page essay for the hundredth time. We experience literacy differently and have our very own unique stories on how it has impacted our lives and had made us who we are today. It is an essential aspect that I use in my everyday life, such as in relationships, daily interactions with others, and learning. It has become such a powerful aspect and human right in which it allows one to speak his/her mind and in some cases express their opinion to the world. My personal literacy history has shaped me into who I am today because without my experiences I would not have been able to gain the confidence and

The aims and importance of learning provisions for literacy development is to give children the opportunities and possibilities open to them and benefit from more effective teaching of reading and to marrow the achievement gap between disadvantaged students and their peers.

Literacy is a vital part of all later learning. Because of this, the children will engage in hands on activities that relates to what they have read and give them opportunities to make up their own versions, as well as make up their own stories. They will have a large group story time and a partner reading time. An ample variety of books will be available at all times. Signs with words and pictures will be posted around the classroom showing, daily activities, objects that are used daily, and the placement of toys and

A more rigorous screening process when appointing an individual to act as a Power of Attorney for Property may also help reduce financial abuse amongst incapacitated seniors. Personal appointments, such as Power of Attorneys, rely solely on the grantor to screen potential Attorneys to ensure that they are capable of undertaking the duties, and are willing and suitable to do so. Ontario’s current legislation regarding POAs aims to make appointment widely accessible, so there are relatively few practical or procedural barriers to their creation, as compared with other jurisdictions. The resultant risk is that those creating POAs may not fully understand the potential implications of doing so, and may put themselves at risk of abuse, neglect or exploitation by their attorneys. Practically speaking, a more rigorous screening process for potential Attorneys would likely increase the amount of responsibility on the solicitor drafting the POA to vet the potential Attorney or Attorneys. Furthermore, even the most carefully screened and selected Attorney abuse his power. Thus, while a more rigorous screening process is important, it itself will not effectively prevent financial abuse by Attorneys.

I said not, in this day, my mother start to taught me how to read and write.” When asked about which areas were most interesting my classmate stated that they read romantic books, dramas, fantasy books, and history.

I used several ideas to find material that was worth reviewing. I went to the APUS online library and did an advanced search. I used bullion operators to help narrow down the search. One of the biggest tasks I ran into was finding articles that were current. There were several times I thought I found a good article and then discover it was from the 1980’s, then it was on to the next. After adjusting the timeline to display articles by date I then fixed that problem. The APUS library has so much resources, it is very helpful to be able to search in multiple databases.

Literacy has a long and detailed history. “The earliest examples of pictorial written communication date back to 3500 B.C. (Piechota). In the centuries after the invention of written communication, only a small part of human society
