Bailey

Bailey, N. (2009, April). It makes it more real: Teaching new literacies in a secondary English classroom. //English Education, 43, 207-234.//

Nancy Bailey teaches at Canisius College in Buffalo, NY.

This article describes her experience as an observer/participant in one of her graduate student's (Carol) 9th grade English classes. She spent 5 months in one of her classes, 3-4 days per week, watching Carol integrate what she was learning in her graduate class into practice.

She reports on several theories and recent studies of changing literacies.

The focus is on the efforts of Carol to enliven her classroom, some of the techniques she uses, and the results.
