The Social

This chapter is drawn from a qualitative case study of one alternative high school English class, tracing students' engagement and resistance with digital media and school-based literacy practices, exploring how each student's use of literacy and digital media led to the formation of particular identities in the social sphere of the classroom. In this chapter the authors focus on two students, Callie--loud and socially dominant-- and Nina, quiet, reserved, outside the social circle. The authors trace the students' respective discursive practices in two composition units-- a multimodal children's book unit and a Theater of the Oppressed unit. The chapter argues that both young women have strong literacy skills and are strategic in using them, thereby creating particular identities as they produced texts.

Asking how she, as a teacher, can motivate students to discover the joy of reading, Joan Kernan Cone explores students' self-perceptions as "readers" and "non-readers." By engaging her students in this question and through her willingness to respond to their ideas Cone experiments with methods to cultivate "readers" — those who read on their own for pleasure and knowledge. Through the use of student journals, reading materials matching their interest and cultural backgrounds, and group discussion, she inspires a passion for reading. As a result of her in-class research and collaborative reflection with her students, Cone advocates creating a "community of readers" in which students can choose books, read them, talk about them, and encourage each others to read.

Most high school English teaching classrooms are instilling knowledge and filling duck teaching led by teachers, ignoring the subjectivity of students. As a result, it dampens students' enthusiasm for learning. Under the background of the new era curriculum reform concept, the classroom interactive teaching mode exerts its unique advantages, greatly mobilizes the enthusiasm of students in learning, changes the single interactive teaching mode, and enhances the interaction and communication between students and teachers. Therefore, this paper analyzes the research and application of classroom interactive teaching mode in high school English teaching.
