# Critical literacy

???

- Goal of critical literacy: support students in understanding their worlds--the nature of power and their possibilities for action--and working together to build more just and peaceful futures
- How literacy might help? Helping people understand and helping people act. 
- Interactive storytelling allows scripting new relationships with reader and modeling discourse situations: flirting and persuasion, microaggressions, using speech cues to negotiate group membership, and ambivalence about self-disclosure or willingness to challenge social norms.

This is my very first time writing interactive fiction. I am feeling
    + excited.
        -> high_energy
    + apprehensive.
        -> high_energy
    + bored.
        -> low_energy

=== high_energy ===
    I hope I can channel this into some quality writing. 
    + I'm ready
        -> get_started

=== low_energy ===
    I hope I find something that sparks my curiosity. 
    + Yeah, probably not.
        -> coffee
    + I'll give it a try
        -> get_started

=== coffee ===
    I'm going to go get some coffee...
    -> END

=== get_started ===
    OK, let's get this story started. {high_energy: I got this! | 
    Good thing I did some prewriting ahead of time.}
    -> END
