Effective Literacy (remix)

i have always been interested in parataxis and how we read.

I took a list of, i guess, outcomes for effective litaracy and scrambled it. The original source follows the detournment. What is detournment?

The two fundamental laws of detournment are the loss of importance of each autonomous element – which may go so far as to lose its original sense completely – and at the same time the organisation of another meaningful ensemble that confers on each element its new scope and effect.

So here is the new text:

Effective literacy draws on a repertoire of practices that allow learners, as they engage in reading and writing activities, to:

yes.

words just represent concepts so does it matter what order they are presented? i've always been interested in parataxis.

when you read it, does it make you think about anything? literacy, how we knit together ideas, how syntax is over rated, what constitutes content....
