Applying the Principles of Foxfire to Motivate High School Juniors.

Paterno, Jim

Teaching and Change, v1 n4 p395-412 Sum 1994

A high school English teacher used Foxfire principles to teach two classes, one with students who lacked successful school experiences and one with students who had more success in school but needed structured environments. Students became more active participants in learning through positive learning experiences, forging bonds with the teacher. (Author/SM)
