The Puzzling Child: Challenging Assumption about Participation and Making in Talking Science
Ballenger, Cynthia
Language Arts, v81 n4 p303-311 Mar 2004
A focus was made on puzzling children with the help of few examples, the times when they said unexpected or surprising things or made remarks that shouldn't have been made. The way these children present their meaning in different cases and the resources they draw upon for thinking and for expression is explored.
