The part of this reading that focuses on the vocational trades is very important. If we consider as the foundation of communication then we understand that literacy is important in all aspects of education and life. The idea of not segregating content areas is imperative. We need our students to understand the importance of literacy. I would love to collaborate with our English department and have students in my collision class work on reading, writing, and communication in connection with my class. This will help them see the importance of literacy in life and hopefully increase engagement.
