- Summary:
-
Motivated by the California English/Language Arts Framework, California teachers are working toward the goal of using the integrated language arts as tools for learning in all content areas. The core of this new curriculum is to help students make sense out of a piece of literature by moving into, through, and beyond a text. For example, a lesson centering around the poem "The Lesson of the Moth" by Don Marquis could involve getting into the work by tapping prior knowledge (having students list times when they were willing to take a risk), moving through the work by reading the poem aloud and having students draw images of what they hear, and going beyond the work by writing something in response to the poem. These types of tasks can also be used to work through difficult texts in other subject areas. As children come to learn to interact with text through their own prior knowledge and through talking and writing, they also learn that print is supposed to make sense and that they, the readers, have a responsibility to interact with the text to construct meaning that is significant to them. (Four references are appended.) (MM)
