{"product_id":"9781571109651","title":"Many Texts, Many Voices","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn any given day, a visitor to Mary Shorey's classroom will find  elementary students using a variety of learning tools, from books to  wikis and blogs, to pose critical questions about the world and take  action to make a difference in the lives of others. Whether sponsoring a  book drive for victims of Hurricane Katrina, using a multimedia  presentation to persuade the principal to adopt their recycling plan, or  challenging a senior citizen's eviction, it's all in a day's work for  Mary's students. Her young learners are becoming conscious consumers,  creative thinkers, and effective communicators even while fulfilling the  mandated curriculum and Common Core Standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Shorey and coauthor Penny Silvers write in \u003ci\u003eMany Texts, Many Voices\u003c\/i\u003e,  \"Critical literacy requires that the reader\/consumer examine multiple  perspectives and ask, 'Whose interests are being served?' and 'Whose  voice is heard—or silenced?'...Rather than an addition to a lesson or  curriculum, critical literacy is a way of thinking, communicating,  analyzing, and living a literate life. Critical literacy also implies  the possibility of taking some kind of social action in order to support  a belief, make a difference, or simply help during a time of need.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlways  mindful of what is appropriate for young children, Shorey and Silvers  continually search for opportunities to embed critical literacy and  inquiry in the everyday lives of primary students. Through a rich array  of rubrics, sample lessons, text sets, unit designs, and professional  resources, Silvers and Shorey share their reflective practices so that  all teachers can use print, visual, and digital tools to transform  student learning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stenhouse Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47166575935728,"sku":"9781571109651","price":25.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781571109651_p0.jpg?v=1763779047","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781571109651","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
