At one of the examples at Brandt, African Americans in slavery taught each other to understand the Bible under the sponsorship of Baptist and Methodist ministries. I think this relates to the ‘recruit’ function of the sponsorship since Baptist and Methodist are supplying new materials for African Americans. Also in my literacy narrative, I acted as a regulating sponsor. By arguing about the right way to evaluate the literacy interpretation ability, I tried to put wrong things into right order.
