Overall, sponsors affect literacy learning in a multitude of ways. Whether the sponsors are seen as positive or negative by learners/authors, sponsors in the majority do what is best for learners.

Fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, teachers and counselors are just a few of the many people who affect the lives of students. A name for this group of people who affect students, especially when it pertains to literacy learning, is sponsors. As Deborah Brandt puts it “sponsors deliver the ideological freight that must be borne for access to what they have” (557). This means that whether it is support and encouragement or even access to materials, sponsors shape how sponsees  see and view aspects of life and learning. Most sponsors are what are called facilitators which are those who encourage and give materials to further a learners literacy. While facilitating sponsors help a learner, there are some sponsors who withhold from a learner. Though they differ in their roles facilitators and withholders are still sponsors who effect a learner’s literacy, albeit in different ways.

1. Im adding and challenging brandt within my paper, but I need to do more and use more evidence from brand and from litnars.
2. Because my draft was lacking in completion I have barely a tenth of the info and evidence I need to make a good paper.
3. I need to add in info/evidence from at least one more scholarly journal and at least three litnars.

I find sponsors of both types, facilitating and withholding, to be interesting. In my paper, I’ll focus on how each type of sponsor affects the learner/author in/of the LitNar.

Q4. For each SPONSOR, imagine how he/she might view the central literacy moment in the story. Williams suggests the value of this thinking in suggesting that students “rewrite the key moment (or moments) of the narrative from the position of a different identity” (345). WRITE ABOUT the SPONSOR’s perspective. Briefly note relevant detail/evidence from the LN that suggests that perspective.

Q5. What strikes you as INTERESTING, COMPLICATED, or otherwise worth NOTING? (Use shorthand or fragments, but attempt to say WHY it’s interesting/complicated.) Here YOU start to decide what’s important FOR YOU.
