-Discuss your experience of taking one of the literacy tests from Activity . Provide examples of questions and your responses.
My experience was weird , because their are some unexplainable questions. Specially the fact that this test has to be done in 10mins feels like it was provided on purpose.just because these people taking the test were black peoples. Because it was given to people who couldn’t prove they attended fifth grade.
examples from the test –
-draw a line around the shortest word in this line ( I drew a line under “a “ )because it’s a word and the shortest.
-And Above letter Xmake a small cross – x
-How can we help establish more equality for the Black/ African-American community in the US?
We can help that happen,by providing same opportunities as white people to the black African community. And create a specific law like consequences will happen if the black community isn’t offered same chances as the whites.
-What is the argument in the article titled “With COVID, the African-American Literacy Crisis will get much worse”? Support your answer with evidence from the text, and with your own thoughts on this topic.
The argument is about African American kids not getting the equipment or care they need to attend school and help keep themselves safe in the pandemic “. “ African American students are more likely to be missing out on instruction during this pandemic etc….” My thoughts are African American kids , should have access and the care they need specially during this pandemic. And should be able to get attention from their teachers and resources to help with literacy skills. Specially in the African American communities.
