Schoolhouse South: Learning to Read and Write the World from Rural America The Literacy Narrative Guidelines As you begin this essay-writing process, I would like for you to reflect on your experiences and attitudes about reading and writing. Some of us have negative early experiences with reading and writing, ones that have affected the various ways we feel about reading and writing as adults. For others, reading and writing are treasured skills that come out of a childhood fascination with language and self- expression. Some of us have experienced the strangeness of language in a foreign country, while others have sat in a writing classroom and felt it little different from a foreign country – a place unfamiliar and remote. Regardless of our backgrounds, our ideas of literacy often become deeply ingrained as good or bad without much thought from us as to how those views came to be. As a result, many of us have definitions of literacy – of reading and writing – that could benefit from a thoughtful and honest close self-examination. Topic Choices Please draw from the following topics as you develop your essay focus. Also note that not all of the suggested topics are focused on traditional literacy instruction and learning (see the last two). If you have other ideas, please let me know. We can always add to this list. • Narrate an early memory about writing or reading that you recall vividly. Then explain why this event is significant to you now. • Describe someone who taught you to read or write and explain this person’s significance in your life. • Identify a book or other text and explain its significance for you in your reading and writing. • Narrate an experience with a writing or reading task that you found (or still find) difficult or challenging. • Describe a memento/artifact and explain how it represents an important moment in your reading/writing development. • Recall a time when you learned a profound lesson or experienced an epiphany. That lesson does not necessarily have to have happened within a traditional classroom; however, it must be tied to “reading” situations, people, events, etc. • Consider a specific talent you possess or special task/activity at which you are adept. Those specializations have their own jargon and terminology and learning them requires a highly-specialized type of literacy. Focus your essay on how you learned how to create/perform that talent or task. Key Features / Literacy Narrative • A Well-Told Story . Bring your narrative to life by using concrete and vivid details. Details can bring a narrative to life for readers by giving them vivid mental images of the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and textures of the world in which your story takes place. • Narrative’s Significance. Make clear why the incident you narrate matters to you now by explaining its significance. • Well-organized . Whatever strategy you use (narrative, descriptive, etc.), make sure that your organization (beginning, middle, and end) is effective, engaging, and clear. • Thesis Statement : State the main idea of your essay somewhere in your introduction in a thesis statement (implied or direct). Then make certain that every supporting paragraph relates to and supports that main idea. Suggestion: Go back and revisit the vignettes and impressions you have written about thus far. You will need to get the moment right and clear in your own mind. You cannot really start in the pre-planning stages with this. Start with the impressions and vignettes and make sense of that first. Find the big idea(s). See sample literacy narratives provided below. • Use concrete, vivid descriptions and focus on a specific event. • Consider using dialogue between the characters in your narrative. • Write 1,500-3,000 words (about 3-5 full pages, typed, double-spaced, in 12-point font, Times New Roman or other conservative font, free of grammatical and usage errors; MLA format). Sample Literacy Narratives • “A Way with Words” by Sasha Steinberg & “Cultural Literacy over Chicken Salad” by Christina Collins • “Following the Rules” by Elizabeth Jones • “Jesus Shaves” by David Sedaris (audio from “This American Life”) • “Thanks, Ms. T: Learning How to Speak the Language” by J. Jeter (see full text below) • The Digital Archive of Literacy Narratives & • The world of cinema and film also pays homage to literacy and learning. See link below for film models. o Other Meaningful Models from Film: The Great Debaters, Auntie Mame, The Color Purple, Akeela and the Bee, In America, The Philosopher Kings (documentary featuring custodial / service workers at the nation’s most prestigious universities). Other Important Information Please submit your literacy narrative to the Turnitin folder on our course Blackboard page no later than 11:59 pm on Monday, September 14, 2020. w w w .I n d ia n J o u rn a ls .c o m M e m b e rs C o p y , N o t fo r C o m m e rc ia l S a le D o w n lo a d e d F ro m I P - . . . o n d a te d 4 -O c t- Robotic Nursing in health Care Delivery R.

Robot is a machine in the form of a human being that performs the mechanical functions of a human being but lacks sensitivity1. The Nursing robot system is designed to serve bedridden patients by performing simple services Such as operating electrical appliances or bringing patient’s bedside according to the patients spoken request. She has face recognition (camera), voice recognition (microphone) arms and hands. She talks (speaker) with the patient, doctor and nurses in different human languages1. Human-like robots are already being utilized as supplemental healthcare workers in elderly homes across the world. Larger robotic machines can be used to carry-out laborious physical tasks like moving patients, and smaller interactive robots are being used to combat loneliness and inactivity in the elderly population2. As an ageing society is becoming a challenge for more and more countries, the development of non- human nurses will be essential to cope with the lack of human caregivers. In the future, robots will assist older people at home, in hospitals and foster homes. One of the robots’ main benefits is that they are comparably cheap labor. Moreover, there are more retired people than people who work. As a result this will lead to an increase of pension and consequently cheap nursing staff will be essential to handle supply and demand and to make sure that nursing will remain affordable2. Additionally, nursing robots will take on physical demanding work like carrying or moving people. Especially, when nursing immobile or handicapped people, the assistance of robots will be a great relief for nurses and caregivers. An increasing elderly population paired with an insufficient amount of healthcare workers able to care for it makes revolutionary inventions like nurse robots incredibly helpful3.

Robotic health Assistant: A robotic care giver can handle the laundry and household chores, while the patient is sleeping and the patients awakes would be greeted by kind humanlike voice. If the patient ambulatory, the robot can assist with getting the patient moving. Many elderly patients take multiple medicines allowing for mistakes in taking the right dose at night time. A caregiver robot could make sure that medicine requirement is met. For those failing eyesight, the robot could read to them4. Giraffplus: Giraffplus consists of a network of sensors which can measure blood pressure or detect if someone falls. The data then interpreted in term of activities, health and well being, such as if the person is relaxed or need to go to bed. Even can trigger alerts or reminder to a health care provider4. Care-o-Bot 4: These Robots provides the social assistance by offering stimulating and engaging in empathic interaction, they increasing social connectivity which prevents social isolation and loneliness.

These robots are programmed to apply gentle pressure while washing patient as a solution both to the embarrassment of receiving bathing help from another human as well as to the anticipated increase in demand of nursing services for the elderly4. hybrid Assistive limb: (hAl) Hybrid assistive limb (HAL) which is robotic exoskeleton that could greatly improve the mobility of elderly or disabled people who wear it4. Robotic Nursing Assistant: (RoNA SYSteM): RONA system has developed for a human-safe, heavy- lifting that is useful in any clinical environment. It is an autonomous robotic nursing assistant capable of helping health care providers maneuver and lift patients weighing up to 500 pounds5. Definitions of Robotic Nursing: Robotic nursing is the use of autonomous mobile robots mainly designed and programmed for performing tasks related to nursery aiming to assist (but not replace) nurses in hospitals, care facilities or even homes for a better prevention, and rapid treatment and medical care of people especially elderly and physically disabled ones.

Title: Learning to Read from Rural America and Its Significance in Literacy Development

Introduction

Literacy, comprising reading and writing skills, is foundational to individual development and societal participation. In rural America, various factors influence how individuals acquire and perceive literacy, from early childhood experiences to community resources. This essay reflects on personal experiences with literacy, explores the significance of these moments, and examines the broader implications for understanding literacy development in rural contexts. The shift from viewing reading and writing as mere skills to recognizing them as vital tools for empowerment shapes the narrative of this paper.

Early Memories of Literacy

Growing up in a small rural town, I vividly recall my first encounter with reading—a bright Sunday morning when my mother handed me a picture book. The smell of aged paper, the texture of the thick pages, and her gentle voice brought the story to life. That moment was significant because it marked the beginning of my journey into a world beyond my immediate environment. This early memory underscores how a simple shared experience can ignite a lifelong curiosity about language and stories, which remains vital in my understanding of literacy today.

Influence of Mentors and Community

My elementary school teacher, Mrs. Johnson, played an instrumental role in nurturing my literacy skills. Her patience and enthusiasm turned reading into an enjoyable activity rather than a chore. Her approach, emphasizing storytelling and interaction rather than rote memorization, emphasized that literacy goes beyond decoding words; it is about connecting with ideas. This mentorship was significant because it cultivated my confidence and love for reading, illustrating how educators in rural settings can profoundly impact literacy development.

Texts and Personal Significance

One book that profoundly influenced my perception of reading was "Charlotte's Web." The story of friendship, sacrifice, and resilience resonated deeply with me. In a rural setting where community ties are strong, this narrative enhanced my understanding of empathy and compassion, essential components of literate living. The
