For my image resizing task, I thought it would be nice to share an example of my experience of 'home literacy practices'. For some of you these images will be a blast from the past; the more recent 'found' image (right) was cropped (to remove the juxtaposed original Nat Geo Magazine) and provided as the stimuli for the essay question on the QCS test in 2003. Some of my peers later shared that they had little idea about the context in which this image came about and found it difficult to write critically as a result.
This was my favourite part of the QCS; this image was it was something I knew about, and I recall being eternally grateful to my grandmother for providing copies of National Geographic for our 'library' on camping trips as a child.
