Annotations of “Learning to Serve: The Language and Literacy of Food Service Workers”:
- The author is Tony Mirabelli. He earned a Ph.D. in Education in Language, Literacy and Culture from the University of California in 2001.
- Mirabelli introduced the concept of multiliteracies to argue that these workers do not just read texts, they also read people and situations.
- Mirabelli’s very rich analysis of a particular activity system is an opportunity for you to test the ideas you’ve been working on throughout the chapter.
- This writer is straight to the point.
