Seven Power Lens on 21st Century Literacy

1) What is semiotics?
     Semiotics is the study of how the reading of signs and symbols together communicate complicated ideas in the form of codes. For example in the reading it talks about President Clinton wearing his "usual dark suit with a stylish blue shirt and red tie" fro American readers this is perceived as patriotism. 
2) How can teachers capitalize on students preferred literacy behaviors?
By understanding students preferred literacy behaviors we, as teachers, can use that to our advantage while teaching the students what they need to know.
3) According to this article why is it important for students to learn to analyze the news media? 

If students do not learn to interpret the media they could miss out of something being said in between the lines. 

4) Copy and Paste a West Virginia CSO that a photo analysis activity might address in a content area.

Quote:

Using information literacy, we can evaluate the 

“authority” of the reporter.

Response:

I chose this quote because with information literacy we can learn about anything. In the article they Google the reporter, and the research Theodore Roosevelt. Because we have Google, Bing, and Wikipedia we can just search what we want to know and bam there it is.    With all this knowledge at the tips of our fingers we need to know how to interpret it. that is why using information literacy is so important.
