My literate life is composed of many different pieces.   I read many things such as emails, Facebook posts, and random articles that I find interesting.   Also I read books if I have time to do so.   While I was at Catalina Island Camps for the summer I did a lot of reading.   I read the books Holes, Wayside School stories, and two of the Harry Potter books.  Now that school has started I am reading my textbooks as well as material on Blackboard.   I write for many reasons such as to keep in contact with my buddies and to respond to emails I receive.  I also write in a journal almost daily to keep track of progress I have been making or not making.   I go back and read these journals frequently.
            Lunsford's article showed me that making mistakes in reading and writing is totally normal.   As a future teacher I need to understand that students will be making mistakes.   I need to keep up with the technology so I can understand why some mistakes are repeated.   Such as knowing that students may use the wrong form of a word. (ex. to, two, too).  This is a common mistake because spell check doesn't catch this.
