This book addresses Disney parks using performance theory. Few to
no scholars have done this to date-an enormous oversight given the
Disney parks' similarities to immersive theatre, interpolation of
guests, and dramaturgical construction of attractions. Most
scholars and critics deny agency to the tourist in their engagement
with the Disney theme park experience. The vast body of research
and journalism on the Disney "Imagineers"-the designers and
storytellers who construct the park experience-leads to the
misconception that these exceptional artists puppeteer every aspect
of the guest's experience. Contrary to this assumption, Disney park
guests find a range of possible reading strategies when they enter
the space. Certainly Disney presents a primary reading, but
generations of critical theory have established the variety of
reading strategies that interpreters can employ to read against the
text. This volume of twelve essays re-centers the park experience
around its protagonist: the tourist.

Here is a brilliant new practical work book to help children
acquire the language, skills and self-awareness of successful
learners.Everyone is good at something and we can all be good at
learning if we know how to think and behave as learners. This book
will show your children how, and help them to understand, why it is
important. Think Like a Learner! asks children to involve
themselves in key questions about learning and develops their
self-awareness as self-critical thinkers and learners How do we
think and talk about learning? 'Think like a learner' is for
learners, rather than exclusively for teachers, although the
authors very much hope that teachers and learners will explore
together the ideas that are presented. It is vital to acknowledge
learners as the co-constructors of their learning rather than
perceiving themselves as the recipients of learning provided by
teachers. This book will hopefully demonstrate how we can all be
good at learning if we know how to think and behave as learners,
and it also emphasises why this is so important - exploring how we
think and talk about learning, the significance of
'bouncebackability', the features of high quality team learning and
developing greater responsibility for our own learning. We often
focus too much on the outcome of learning rather than on the
process. In 'Think like a learner', we try to help children see
that when they develop the ability to bounce back, recognise their
own problems, solve them, and learn together in teams, whatever
outcome they are aiming for, success in getting it becomes more
likely.
