    The new millennium provides us with an excellent reason to reflect on our culture. This course examines what it means to be literate in a human way. Students will be asked to critically reflect on how a modern technological society, as exemplified by the United States, determines what it means to be educated. Students will reach their own definition of what it means to be literate through reflection on their past learned perceptions and theoretical constructs compared to their new insights as a result of their service learning experience and critical reading of the text. This exploration will involve working one on one with an individual in the midst of a literacy learning experience or working with a small group of learners in a basic adult education organization. The research, Externship, and Service Learning projects can encompass a variety of formats from life histories, to artistic exploration depending on the students' focus. If the student chooses Externship and/or Service Learning, there is a minimum requirement of 20 hours outside of class working with the literacy organization.Competences: L-10, L-11.
