Book Description
Light up with English: An English Literature workbook for CSEC(R) English B - Prose is the first workbook of its kind to be added to the Caribbean educational landscape. It was designed based on the learning objectives of the CSEC(R) English syllabus in order to make classroom instruction more effective and maximize learning outcomes. It is my aim that while learning the content for the CSEC(R) syllabus, students will make connections to their unique life experiences. Also, they should increase their knowledge and appreciation of the cultures presented in the different short stories and novels. This workbook incorporates activities which cater to the varied intelligences in the classroom. It also incorporates the use of Information Communication Technology (ICT), formative assessment, games, rewards and collaborative learning to make learning more interactive and fun. It is believed that the nature of the activities will allow students to become excited about learning both English Language and Literature. It is my hope that this Workbook will ignite, in students, the desire to do well in English, and the flame will continue to burn outside the classroom and far beyond their high school years.

Culture, Literacy, and Learning
Author: Carol D. Lee
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
How can educators improve the literacy skills of students in historically underachieving urban high schools? In this timely book, the author offers a theoretical framework for the design of instruction that is both culturally responsive and subject-matter specific, rooted in examples of the implementation of the Cultural Modeling Project. Presented here, the Cultural Modeling Project draws on competencies students already have in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) discourse and hip-hop culture to tackle complex problems in the study of literature. Using vivid descriptions from real classrooms, the author describes how AAVE supported student learning and reasoning; how students in turn responded to the reform initiative; and how teachers adapted the cultural framework to the English/language arts curriculum. While the focus is on literacy and African American students, the book examines the functions of culture in facilitating learning and offers principles for leveraging cultural knowledge in support of subject matter specific to academic learning. This much-awaited book offers important lessons for researchers, school district leaders, and local practitioners regarding the complex ways that cultural knowledge is constructed and plays out in classroom life, in the life of a school, and in the life of a whole-school reform initiative.

Bourdieu and Literature
Author: John R. W. Speller
Publisher: Open Book Publishers
ISBN: 1906924422
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Bourdieu and Literature is a wide-ranging, rigorous and accessible introduction to the relationship between Pierre Bourdieu's work and literary studies. It provides a comprehensive overview and critical assessment of his contributions to literary theory and his thinking about authors and literary works. One of the foremost French intellectuals of the post-war era, Bourdieu has become a standard point of reference in the fields of anthropology, linguistics, art history, cultural studies, politics, and sociology, but his longstanding interest in literature has often been overlooked. This study explores the impact of literature on Bourdieu's intellectual itinerary, and how his literary understanding intersected with his sociological theory and thinking about cultural policy. This is the first full-length study of Bourdieu's work on literature in English, and it provides an invaluable resource for students and scholars of literary studies, cultural theory and sociology.
