Description
Book SynopsisA representation of a narrative inquiry conducted with five ninth grade boys that were identified as displaying multiple literacies, looking specifically at how these boys storied their literate identities.
Trade Review"I want readers to sample Mary's 'simply elegant' writing style and the kinds of knowledge held and expressed in her storying and restorying. Mostly, I want to compel readers to turn the page and begin reading this important work that fills a gaping hole in the literature and in the field. You will not be disappointed.(Cheryl J. Craig, University of Houston)". This book is a shining reach to a wider audience for Mary's teaching. The impulse of this project has been to learn more by crafting a narrative inquiry to teach us more about boys' literate identities. (Jill Terry Rudy, Brigham Young University)
