This practical book provides teachers with step-by-step guidance
for developing a class culture that welcomes curiosity and ignites
social action. Student-driven inquiry has a lasting impact on
learning, yet questions posed from students' own contexts rarely
serve to shape their understanding of the outside world. The
authors show teachers how to use literature to introduce characters
and worlds that exist outside of their students' lived experiences.
Through this exposure, students can develop questions that seek to
build empathy for others, which ultimately positions young people
to be change agents in their communities and in the larger world.
This book translates ideas from theorists in critical literacy,
student motivation, and culturally responsive pedagogy into
practical approaches for the English language arts and social
studies classroom (6–12). Each chapter poses questions designed
to get teachers thinking about how to use mind-opening texts with
students to address social problems.Book Features: Shows teachers
how to use literature to help students navigate a shifting world.
Equips students with the skills to advocate for themselves and
others, including using digital tools in meaningful, effective
ways. Asks students to face controversial points-of-view head on
and interrogate the world in which they live. Includes examples of
discussions that lead to projects and opportunities that allow
youth to do work in the community. Demonstrates how to move theory
into practice, providing teachers with the rationale for using
inquiry as disruption if questioned by stakeholders. Contains a
scope and sequence that outlines an entire year devoted to inquiry,
as well as how to break it down into individual units and lessons.
