| Summary |
"This book for elementary and middle school teachers and literacy methods courses articulates a theory of critical literacy instruction. Critical literacy practices encourage students to use language to question the everyday world, interrogate the relationship between language and power, analyze popular culture and media, understand how power relationships are socially constructed, and consider actions that can be taken to promote social justice."--BOOK JACKET |
