Making English Classrooms Happier Places to Learn.

Meeks, Lynn Langer

English Journal, v88 n4 p73-80 Mar 1999

Outlines a set of conditions in which literacy learning is more likely to occur, based on Brian Cambourne's theory of literacy learning defining eight "conditions for learning." Defines each of these learning conditions, gives examples of them in the real world, and offers examples of what each condition for learning looks like in a 10th-grade poetry unit. (SR)
