4 Cultural Literacy and Countercultural Literacy Items Cultural Literacy Items Countercultural Literacy Items Who wrote Macbeth? Who was Cesar Chavez? What is a limerick? What is the I Ching used for? What does nouveau riche mean? How did Janis Joplin die? What is a non sequitur? What does macrobiotic mean? What is a carnivore? What countries were in SEATO?

The countercultural literacy items are from Zahler & Zahler, 1989. chap2 8/10/04 12:40 PM Page 29 Building an Indirect Approach 29 students have background knowledge even though not all of them have the academic background knowledge necessary to do well in school.
For example, many adults understand the concept of a statistical correlation only at a surface level. 00 or that the size of a correlation tells you little about its significance. However, they have a general sense that a correlation means that as one thing goes up something else goes up (or down). This surface-level understanding, even if it is somewhat inaccurate, still helps them understand reports and discussions that use the term correlation. The fact that even surface-level background knowledge is useful greatly increases the viability of a program that seeks to enhance students’ academic background knowledge.
