- Summary:
- This valuable resource offers an alternative framework for middle and secondary English instruction. It demonstrates ways of engaging students in critical inquiry projects about the social worlds they inhabit or about those portrayed in literature and the media. It provides numerous examples of middle and high school students using various literacy tools (language, genres, narratives, signs, multimedia, and drama) to study, represent, critique, and transform these worlds. By engaging in these projects, students learn to understand how these literacy tools are used to construct social worlds.
