What do classroom teachers do on a daily basis to incorporate the study and production of texts in multiple media? What are some of their assignments? How do teachers assign grades in a classroom where the final project may be a sculpture, a film, or a website? This book answers these and many other questions by examining the work of pioneers: teachers who have transformed their classrooms in an effort to broaden the literacy of their students. Describing some of the most innovative examples of teaching and learning, this volume offers practical guidance, including actual lessons, assignments, and assessments that have been used successfully in pioneering classrooms.

“Adds an important dimension that heretofore has been absent from the field of literacy. This book belongs in the hands of every educator who values the multiple literacies that students bring to learning situations in and out of classrooms.”

“New Literacies have provided a way for some teachers and students to create new spaces for accomplishing their daily lives: for exploring the worlds in which they live, for constructing caring relationships with each other, for creating meaning, and for voicing their lives.”
—From the Foreword by
