2. “[L]iteracy is not the same in all
contexts”
• “The notion of different literacies has several
senses: for example, practices which involve
different media or symbolic systems, such as a
film or computer, can be regarded as different
literacies, as in film literacy and computer
literacy” (47).
• “…there are different literacies associated
with different domains of life” (47).
3. Domains
• Domains are separate, occasionally self-
contained literacy events.
• Here are a few examples:
• School
• Home
• Work
• Community (ambiguous)
4. We have two essays for next week
• “Creating A Community,” Beverly J. Moss
