Abstract
This Practitioner Perspective paper discusses literacy as a vital skill that empowers users. After an initial discussion of the twin aspects of literacy, I present a student teacher’s overly complex seventh-grade lesson, which served as a springboard for reflection about alignment of assignments and student interest. The transformative classroom experience yielded a powerful insight—that effective pedagogy contributes to writer confidence.
