Adolescents Rewrite their Worlds: Using Literature to Illustrate
Writing Forms offers alternative ways teachers can engage young
adolescents with the writing process using literature. The
contributors discuss the values of writing in twenty-first-century
classrooms and global societies, remarking that writing is first a
personal exploration that is informed by cultural practices.
Therefore culture is quite central in how we approach, explore, and
express through any medium. The chapters consider ways to motivate
students to become critically-conscious and active writers who are
aware of their surrounding world, and the competing multiple
discourses in which they are positioned. This requires intimate
knowledge of audience, purpose, and genre and/or writing forms. We
provide practical advice for teachers who wish to guide their
students toward these goals. Additional features of this book
include: *Authors/Contributors' professional experiences of
teaching writing using literature *Practical pedagogical practices
that may transform the way teachers teach writing and use
literature *Interviews with authors that give insight into their
writing process *Writing practices for twenty-first-century
adolescents using new literacies
