Quote: "Positioning students as informed interpreters of their experiences with school writing and academic literary can open the door to a generative inquiry into the relationship between writing or literacy and it's social-historical and personal context." (164)
Response: This is one of the many reasons why I enjoyed writing in high school. While there were more academic essays assigned, there would be the occasional one that would be dedicated to our lives. I liked these, because as this quote explains, it meant that I got to express myself however I want since it was my story I was telling. This can relate to the MVA since we had to talk about our community and we could express it however we wanted it, some wrote stories, poems, and others did videos, while others did music lyrics and images. Just by looking at the different mediums every group used to express their ideas highlights and enforces the idea that when students are in charge of their own format and creativity, they excel and even if it's hard at first, they find a way to convey what they want in the way that they want.
