Just Words: Living and Learning the Literacies of Our Students' Lives.
Bausch, Linda S.
Language Arts, v80 n3 p215-22 Jan 2003
Describes how a teacher's journey of documenting everyday literacy events on the streets in her community changes her understanding of what it means to bring the outside world and local literacies into her classroom. Concludes that educators must place value on who students are and where they come from. Suggests that educators and students must navigate the course, together, to where they are going. (SG)
