An acrostic poem (kind of) in response to the Week Three readings:
Vernacular
Vocabulary is equally valuable in expressing and exploring, no matter the dialect
tEachers must increase their expectations: doubt can be read too easily
diveRsity through language and socialization
Negative attitudes toward cultures create tensions with certain vernaculars
Awareness in the classroom of language and the meaning behind it
Culturally cultivated language as a springboard
instrUmental use of vernaculars used as a bridge between home and school language
Language of the individual needs to be respected and shared
scAffolding toward academically promoted language use through launching off of a vernacular
standaRd English should not be the only standard
Your acrostic captures the key points in the various articles and class discussion. thinking about how to do this is the hard part.
