Multiethnic children’s literature addresses multiple audiences, providing different reading experiences and benefits for each.
Using critical race theory as an interpretive tool, this article examines how two African American historical fiction novels,
Mildred Taylor’s Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry and Christopher Paul Curtis’s The Watsons Go to Birmingham—1963, frame anti-racist identifications for readers of all races. It argues that these identifications are key elements in the
novels’ rhetorical strategies for engaging readers and opposing racism. Both novels portray strong African American families
with whom both black and nonblack readers can identify and present African American perspectives on race, but they differ
in how directly they approach racism and how they frame the identification of white readers. The conclusion offers implications
of analyzing race and audience when teaching multiethnic literature. 相似文献

As art objects, picturebooks have the potential to contribute to readers’ aesthetic development. Many scholars and practitioners
have recognized how using picturebooks with older students can augment their reading motivation and extend their understanding
of visual elements of art and design, as well as develop their literacy, language, and thinking skills. The Red Tree (Tan, 2001) was one of the picturebooks used during two multifaceted, classroom-based research projects with Grade 7 students.
The studies explored how the students responded to and interpreted picturebooks and graphic novels with metafictive devices,
and examined how the students transferred their knowledge and understanding of various literary and art elements when creating
their own multimodal print texts. Overall, the content analysis of the students’ written responses to The Red Tree revealed an adoption of an “aesthetic attitude” (Doonan, Looking at Pictures in Picture Books, 1993, p. 11) towards the picturebook. The students’ responses reflected how they positioned themselves as active readers who looked
closely at Tan’s sophisticated and metaphorical paintings, and who embraced a co-authoring role as they interpreted the emotional
landscapes and textual fragments in the picturebook. The article concludes with a discussion of several pedagogical issues
associated with using picturebooks in middle years’ classrooms. 相似文献

Interpretive responses to images in picture books by primary and secondary school students: Exploring curriculum expectations of a ‘visual grammatics’ 
下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 As well as maintaining the central role of literature, the new Australian Curriculum: English emphasises the multimodal nature of literacy and requires students in primary and secondary schools to develop explicit knowledge about visual and verbal grammar as a resource for text interpretation and text creation. This study investigated the use of visual grammatics in interpreting picture books by students across Years Four, Five, Seven and Ten following an intensive professional learning programme undertaken by their teachers. A proposed framework describes variation in students' interpretive stance from tactical to diegetic to semiotic. Levels of student semiotic understanding are differentiated and differences between students' oral and written interpretations are discussed in relation the need for explicit teaching of written interpretive responses to multimodal literary texts, drawing on an articulated visual and verbal grammatics appropriate to the teaching of English in primary and secondary schools. 相似文献

This article examines two comic book adaptations of Shakespeare’s Hamlet produced for teenage readers and used in school classrooms. It seeks to understand the ways in which particular kinds of literacy are being implied and constructed through the textual practice of multimodal adaptation. It presents a close reading of sections of the texts and places them within the framework of multimodal theory and adaptation studies. The paper is part of a larger study of comic book adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays based on a series of semi-structured interviews with the producers (publishers, artists, textual editors) involved in the adaptation process. The data are analysed in order to raise questions concerning the assumptions about literacy inherent in educational texts, and to outline the importance of further qualitative research in the area. 相似文献

Robert Louis Stevenson’s poem “Foreign Children,” Rudyard Kipling’s poem “We and They,” and Frances Temple’s youth novel The Beduins’ Gazelle are the texts submitted to detailed analysis in this article, which examines cross-cultural perspectives in relation to imperial
and post-imperial social contexts. Stevenson is shown to portray the basic structure of an imperial cross-cultural perspective,
which Kipling problematizes and calls into question. Analysis of Temple reveals her awareness of the problems and limitations
that inhere in an imperial perspective and shows that her work presents innovative, contemporary approaches to the representation
of cross-cultural perspectives. 相似文献

This paper presents the qualitative results of a study of students’ reading of multimodal texts in an interactive, online
environment. The study forms part of a larger project which addressed image–language interaction as an important dimension
of language pedagogy and assessment for students growing up in a multimedia digital age. Thirty-two Year 6 students representing
a sample of high, medium and low performers on an Australian state-wide school literacy test were surveyed about their internet
usage and interviewed using a structured protocol while working online through a selection of materials from an educational
website. Findings from the earlier stages of the project indicated that different types of image-text relations vary in the
degree of difficulty they pose for students’ reading comprehension. This phase of the project extended the analysis of image-text
relations to online, interactive texts. Student performance on online reading tasks and interview data are used to illustrate
some of the complexities students encounter when reading online, and how this may vary with factors such as their day-to-day
literacy experiences and levels of engagement. The results have implications for literacy pedagogy and assessing the reading
of web-based texts. 相似文献

Trevor Owens’ paper provides a critique of the role of gender and authority in selected children’s books that presented biographies
of Albert Einstein and Marie Curie. In the context of discussing Trevor’s (2009) article about children’s literature, this
forum explores issues related to the (a) representation and construction of gender, science, and childhood in literature for
children; (b) the need to consider socio/historical/cultural contexts in analytical and theoretical frameworks; and (c) the
importance of fostering critical literacy perspectives in pre- and in-service science teachers and the children whom they
teach. 相似文献

This article examines the consolatory possibilities presented by Markus Zusak’s recent crossover novel The Book Thief, investigating the degree to which the novel delivers the simultaneous consolation and confrontation identified with children’s
and young adults’ Holocaust texts by such critics as Adrienne Kertzer and Lawrence Baron. Contending that the supernatural
nature of the novel’s redemptive imagery ultimately undermines its apparently consolatory purpose, the article concludes with
an analysis of the extent to which such a reading is complicated by the novel’s status as crossover text, and the triangular
gaze that might subsequently be attributed to its adult readers. 相似文献

American publishers have published numerous children’s books about Barack Obama over the past several years; most take the
form of informational biographies. This article reports on a research project aimed at how these books incorporate sociohistorical
narratives, particularly those related to the civil rights movement. Though the features of the books might cause the reader
to presume political neutrality, the books link readers to distinct Discourses (Gee, 1996), suggesting particular ideologies. In this article, we identified the following differences: (1) specific happenings from
Obama’s life were included in some texts while omitted in others; (2) when the events were included, how they were framed
differed; and (3) the narrative constructions of the events varied. We use the differences amongst these texts to argue for
the importance of critical literacy in elementary classrooms. 相似文献

The findings reported in this paper report on an investigation of Chinese people’s understanding of the nature of science
in relation to their conceptualisations of Nature. As an exploratory and interpretive study, it uses semi-structured interviews
with 25 Chinese secondary school science teachers. The paper first presents these teachers’ conceptualisations of Nature,
which were mainly scientifically informed and showed a mixed influence of both traditional and modern Chinese ideas about
Nature. Teachers’ functional understandings of the nature of science were then inferred from their conceptualisations of Nature
and presented from three perspectives: that of science; the strategies and approaches to doing science; and, the status of
scientific knowledge. 相似文献

This article describes an integrated art and early literacy project entitled, ‘Picture Partners’. The main purpose of the
project was to explore how young children create and express meaning through art. Children’s responses, both written and spoken,
were included because accompanying modes of expression expand the nature and content of their drawings and inform teachers
about children’s intentions and processes of thinking. A secondary purpose was to investigate how children use illustrations
from familiar picture books as models for their own creations and whether children’s responses to stories might be enhanced
through their collaboration with peers. Partnerships were formed and participants worked in close proximity as they drew pictures
in response to a teacher directed prompt. Using qualitative, interpretative analysis, a small subset of drawings produced
by kindergarten and first grade children was examined. The results revealed that the process of drawing was influenced by
illustrations in picturebooks, peer interactions, and the artwork of partners in close proximity. The shift in emphasis away
from the interpretations of visual realism in children’s drawings towards their own purposes allowed readers to focus on the
way drawings represent meaning within children’s socio-cultural worlds. 相似文献

This study draws on several theoretical domains: intertextuality, multimodality, and the pedagogy of multiliteracies. We introduced multimodal textbook materials to eleven experienced teachers and examined, through in-depth interviews, their approach to juxtapositions of literary texts and visual artwork. Our analysis revealed (a) three attitudes toward textbook juxtapositions: unconditional approval, conditional approval, and rejection; and (b) a three-phase pattern of behavior: identifying commonalities, repeatedly comparing texts, and interpreting juxtapositions as intertextual interpretive units. We suggest that enhancing teachers’ awareness of their own thought processes may promote their insight about the contribution of the weaving of visual art into literature instruction. 相似文献

Practitioners teaching new Internet users often report that adult learners are disappointed by their first experiences of the World Wide Web. This article focuses on problematic experiences of developing new web-based literacy practices, particularly for adult learners, and how they can be addressed without attributing difficulties to learners’ own deficiencies or attitudes.The perspectives of inexperienced learners in a variety of settings are discussed in relation to the constructs of usability and affordance. Concepts of multimodal affordances and hypermodality, developed within textual studies, foreground potential readings while usability studies foreground technological design. Within literacy studies meanwhile there has been a strong turn towards social context. This paper aims to connect these models of reading, rooted variously in studies of human–computer interaction, theoretical approaches to multimodal texts, and socially situated literacy practices. It concludes that for practitioners, an interdisciplinary approach can be most effective. 相似文献

In recent decades reading research has moved from predominantly quantitative work to more qualitative studies in which individual readers are observed in interaction with texts. Considerable differences have been found in the strategies employed by these readers, especially by those of different social and cultural backgrounds. These diverse strategies can be partly attributed to the different processes by which people learn to read and through the different ways in which they see written texts used in their own social environments; the contrasting situations and strategies of Japanese and Nigerian readers are used to illustrate the point. If teachers are to deal effectively with readers of various cultural backgrounds—as they must do in ESL and EFL classes—they need to know more about such contrasts; more work is therefore needed on the relationship between the literacy practices of cultural communities and the reading strategies of particular individuals. 相似文献

Science literacy leading to fuller and informed participation in the public debate about science, technology, society, and
environmental (STSE) issues that produce justified decisions and sustainable actions is the shared and central goal of the
Pacific CRYSTAL Project. There is broad agreement by science education researchers that learners need to be able to construct
and interpret specific scientific discourses and texts to be literate in science. We view these capabilities as components
in the fundamental sense of science literacy and as interactive and synergetic to the derived sense of science literacy, which
refers to having general knowledge about concepts, principles, and methods of science. This article reports on preliminary
findings from Years 1, 2, and 3 of the 5-year Pacific CRYSTAL project that aims to identify, develop, and embed explicit literacy
instruction in science programs to achieve both senses of science literacy. A community-based, opportunistic, engineering
research and development approach has been utilized to identify problems and concerns and to design instructional solutions
for teaching middle school (Grades 6, 7, and 8) science. Initial data indicate (a) opportunities in programs for embedding
literacy instruction and tasks; (b) difficulties generalist teachers have with new science curricula; (c) difficulties specialist
science teachers have with literacy activities, strategies, genre, and writing-to-learn science tasks; and (d) potential literacy
activities (vocabulary, reading comprehension, visual literacy, genre, and writing tasks) for middle school science. Preinstruction
student assessments indicate a range of challenges in achieving effective learning in science and the need for extensive teacher
support to achieve the project’s goals. Postinstructional assessments indicate positive changes in students’ ability to perform
target reading and writing tasks. Qualitative data indicate teachers’ desire for external direction and the need for researchers
to expand the literacy framework to include oral discourse. A case study of teachers’ use of a specific literacy task and
its influence on students revealed indications of robustness and effectiveness. Experiences revealed procedural difficulties
and insights regarding community-based research and development approaches. 相似文献

This paper proposes a pedagogical approach for teaching and learning critical thinking through multimodal analysis – that is, ‘multimodal analysis for critical thinking'. The approach builds on the conviction that students require competencies that move beyond traditional notions of literacy to meet the changing demands posed by media and technology in the twenty-first century. The approach takes a social semiotic view toward critical multimodal literacy, which aims to provide students with an analytical metalanguage for the systematic analysis of multimodal texts and videos. The pedagogical approach is facilitated through the use of purpose-built software applications with comprehensive analytical frameworks designed to support the systematic teaching and learning of multimodal analysis, with a view to developing the critical literacy skills needed for life in the digital age. The potential efficacies of the approach are illustrated via the exposition of software functionalities and the sample analyses of a printed text with image components, and a short advocacy video. 相似文献

The focus of workplace communication research on visual rhetoric has tended to be the efficient and unproblematically “effective” functioning of visual texts. By suggesting ways in which the visual representations of science are construed by expert readers, this article responds to a call within our discipline for more critically focused contributions to the study of visual literacy. A former editor-in-chief of the American Journal of Botany was asked to explain his interpretation of visuals appearing over an 80-year period in that journal; his responses illustrate how visual explanations testify to their creators' authority and how, once established, such authority actuates the rational arguments of science. Rhetorical appeals within and arrangement of visual texts are considered, as is the persuasive power of legends and captions. 相似文献
