What happens when learning is approached as a transaction between
teachers, students, texts, and methods? Based on classroom action
research conducted in a diverse suburban school district, the
author shares a framework that encourages teachers to approach
their work with a restorative mindset by focusing on four elements
of instruction: methods; literature; relationships; and culture,
identity, and language. In each chapter, Faughey shares a scenario
or problem from her ELA classroom, the action she took to address
it, and the outcomes. Examples include a 9th-grade classroom where
students developed podcasts to share their thinking about Romeo and
Juliet, a 10th-grade classroom where multilingual learners created
graphic essays to share their comparative analysis of Things Fall
Apart and the film Black Panther, and a 12th-grade classroom where
students reimagined Dracula in order to connect personally with the
text through restorying. This accessible text provides resources,
lesson plans, and examples of student work, as well as suggestions
for teacher preparation programs. Book Features: Shares the
perspective of a classroom teacher who understands the daily
interactions teachers have with students, as well as the
possibilities and limitations of teaching in today's schools.
Demonstrates a problem-solving thought process with a step-by-step
explanation of the author's teaching process. Includes vivid
anecdotes about students, pictures of students working together,
and examples of student work. Situates each scenario within a body
of theoretical and research literature, introducing concepts such
as cosmopolitan theory, reader response theory, and literary
theory. Offers lesson plans, rubrics, and handouts that teachers
can use to inform their own practice. Provides lists of podcasts,
videos, articles, and books that can be used when teaching classic
texts such as The Great Gatsby and The Yellow Wallpaper, as well as
multicultural texts like Things Fall Apart."
