A Culture of Orality, Missing Their Voice

Theories of Writing

This assignment asked us to investigate a question we developed about the nature of writing or literacy. The question I chose to research was “why is teaching Native American literature in schools beneficial?” I also discuss challenges and barriers to teaching these works, as well as reasons why schools do not currently teach literature from this culture very extensively. I appreciate this piece because it applies concepts of rhetorical theory to what I believe is a social justice issue.
