Alvermann, Donna E.; Umpleby, Richard; Olson, James R.
International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education, v9 n4 p461-75 Oct-Dec 1996
Proposes to discover what "at risk" students and their teacher could do to bring meaning and life to a basic-track English curriculum. Relates findings that support the view that it is the quality of students' literary experiences, not their tracking placement, that influences the efficacy of these experiences. (DSK)
