Opis

The premise of this book is that written texts and literacy processes are developed within a complex "weave" of particular contexts, or ecologies, and the unique particularity of the learner's experiences, histories, memories and interpretations. Laidlaw

Recenzje

"...an important contribution to our current understandings of curriculum, literacy, and writing....Laidlaw's poetic voice draws one in and keeps one engrossed. She shows how curriculum and literacy learning are not sequential or linear....Her explanations of chaos theory and fractal shapes and connections to literacy and writing are unique and fresh and should be fascinating reading for other literacy educators."
