Workshop 2. Looking at Literature

Background Reading

Small groups talk about a text, exploring ideas they will later bring to the whole class. In preparation for Workshop 2, read "Literary Thought and Literate Mind" in Dr. Judith Langer's Envisioning Literature from the Teachers College Press, 1995.

A compendium of resources and articles about Dr. Langer's research and the envisionment-building process can be accessed from the National Research Center on English Learning and Achievement's Web site.

Explore the "Envisionment-Building resources" to access articles and guides to fostering literary communities in your own classroom.
