The importance of increasing literacy rates in Africa is one of life or death for thousands, and potentially millions of people. If the literacy rates can be increased poverty may be eradicated in most of the African nations. Technology helps to improve literacy rates, an example of this is the fact that all the wealthiest nations on Earth have high literacy rates and high technology levels. Previous research has shown that technology and access to the internet helps to improve literacy rates.
Move 2: Establishing a Niche
Research has proven that high technology levels corresponds to higher rates of literacy. It has also proven that high literacy rates help to eradicate poverty. Therefore this paper will be continuing a tradition that has already been established in other parts of the world, increasing technology levels to increase literacy rates, in certain African nations.
Move 3: Occupying a Niche
The purpose of this essay will be to convince the reader that the best way to reduce poverty in Africa is to increase the literacy rates by means of increasing the digital technology. By the time the reader finishes the essay they can expect to be convinced that the evidence suggests we should help increase digital availability in Africa. I will first discuss literacy rates in African nations then the connection between low literacy rates and poverty levels. Next I will discuss how technology can be used to increase the literacy rates.
My questions for you about this include - what will you be contributing to this discussion? What is unique about your own argument? Are you pulling together new research? Combining research in a way that hasn't been done before? Those are a couple of things to think about as you work on occupying your niche.
