A biology literacy includes
terminology that allows its

from functions of cells to the
coding of DNA.
I have a biology literacy because I took AP Biology my senior year of High School. I took this class because I wanted to take another class with Mrs. Muzzarelli.
A chemistry literacy includes the ability to read a lab manual and know the different chemical compositions this is important so that a chemist does not accidentally mix two incompatible chemicals.
My chemistry literacy is a result
of the AP Chemistry class I took
my junior year. I took this class
because my chemistry teacher
asked me to and we got along
really well so I decided I would
take the class for fun.
I got my physics literacy in
my physics class junior year
I took the class because I
love science and math and
physics is a combination of
science and math.
A physics literacy includes a
wide range of vocabulary
that deals with the motion
of objects and particles.
Some of the words included
are acceleration, jerk, and
velocity.

My calculus literacy is from the
two calculus classes I have
taken in the last two years. I
took these Calculus classes
because I love mathematics.
A Shakespearean literacy allows its possessor to read and understand the plays of Shakespeare.
I got my Shakespearean literacy from the AP Literature class I took last year. I took the class because I really wanted to have another class with Mrs. Opgenorth before I graduated. In the class we read multiple plays by Shakespeare.

What does a baking
Literacy entail?Why do I have a baking Literacy?
A baking literacy includes the
ability to read a recipe and it
includes all sorts of techniques
used in baking. One of the
techniques commonly used in
baking is folding
Like my cooking literacy my

close relationship with my Aunt
Helen I remember when I was
younger we would spend the entire
day baking cookies if the weather
was bad.
A fishing literacy
includes the names of
different species of fish
and the different types of
baits, and hooks.

together.
A hunting literacy includes the
names of the different species,
the names of the characteristics
in an animal, and the names of

have gone hunting together since I
was young.
An agricultural literacy
includes the knowledge of
different types of crops and
tractors and the techniques

My agricultural literacy is
rooted in my strong
connection with my

connection through the

an agricultural literacy in
my literacy identity.
A livestock literacy includes the different
breeds of cattle, goats, sheep, and pigs. For
instance Hereford, Brahman, an Angus are
cattle breeds and Duroc and Yorkshire are
swine breeds. This literacy would also

My livestock literacy started to develop when I was young as a result of the influence of my Aunt Helen and Uncle Ed. It has recently grown tremendously while taking my animal science class as well.
A cooking literacy includes the ability
to read a recipe and to know what
different techniques are called like

the manager of the volleyball team and took stats at
every game.
