Supporting Possible Worlds: Transforming Literature Teaching and Learning through Conversations in the Narrative Mode.

Miller, Suzanne M.; Legge, Sharon

Research in the Teaching of English, v34 n1 p10-64 Aug 1999

Investigates how a secondary-school teacher uses her "turning-point literacy experience" as a narrative template to guide changes in her teaching of literature. Scaffolds students' narrative modes of thinking in two contrasting classroom contexts: a twelfth-grade class for "at-risk" students and an eleventh-grade class for college-bound students. Provides narrative strategies at points of need. (SC)
