Literacy Dig






 


                What is a Literacy Dig? On Tuesday when Lacy gave us the assignment, I was asking the same question. I had to find five items around my room and write their meaning.

                My planner is something that I couldn’t live without. I am not an organized person and this is the only way I will remember to do anything. Since it is a weekly and a monthly planner, it helps a lot. I keep track of my events on the monthly section and I write my assignments on the weekly part. This thing is a life saver.

                My alarm clock/radio is another life saver of mine. It is the only reason I am in class every morning. I also plug my phone into it to use it as speakers so I can listen to music when I am getting ready or just hanging out.

                I have a collage of pictures on my wall and one of them is a picture of all the graduating seniors, this past year, from my dance studio. We had the largest group of 16 graduating girls. We all grew up together in the studio and it was so hard saying goodbye when we left for school. This picture really means a lot to me.

                Sitting on my desk is a jewelry box that my mom gave to me. It’s glass and has a gold plate on the top with my grandparents names engraved on it with wedding bells. It was a wedding gift to them and has been passed down to me. I keep my most valuable jewelry in it.

                Lastly, my dry erase board. I had this dry erase board hanging up in my room for about 4 years and every time someone came over they would write on it. So now it’s filled up with little sayings and old memories.

  1. I have similar thing that I hold importance to in my dorm that holds memories. I like to keep friends in my mind, and sending them a message saying, "Hey, I'm thinking about you."

  2. I like seeing and reading about the merging between your histories and your present. Your grandparents jewlery box, with photos and words from your present... I like how this gives a complex picture of you.
