Blog X

He began his piece by writing about bitterwaitress.com. This is a website that had been recently started as a way for food service employees to chat and share their different stories from the workplace. This was a way for them communicate with their different social and work languages. A website like this could be considered a tool for an activity system in the workplace.

One stereotyped activity I have participated in would be the band program at school. A multiliteracy might be considered the words and ideas we use while reading and using music. When people listen in to what we would be talking about or discussing they might be confused by what we mean and the words we were using.

In that thought, she was talking about being clueless to all the words and phrases used to talk about different aspects of hospital life. This is similar to every different activity that people take part of. Whether they think of it or not, there is always a specialized language that people take part of when they participate in an activity.

"Is reading a customer a form of literacy?"
Yes, I believe it is a form of literacy. To be able to read a customer, you have to be able to read their body language and that takes lots of work and specialization. It is a skill that most people do not have to the extent that a waiter or waitress could have.

I think I feel pretty solid about the stuff that I have learned so far. I did this blog out of order, so I have already completed the paper and all those parts, so yeah....
