In 2000 words write an essay to discuss, critique and analyse the text and readings with regard to the following:

Literacy in the 21st Century: Explain how theories of literacy development influence classroom practice.

Your essay should demonstrate a formal academic piece of writing which shows wide reading on the topic by including references from at least 13 academic sources which will include your textbook.

No matter what you have been told previously all ideas must be referenced. In the introduction where you are referring generally to what you have discovered then you do not need references but if you are specifically referring to an idea then it must be referenced.
