EWRT1A sections 31 and 64: Jean Anyon

Remember the Anyon article is on-line. The url is both listed in the syllabus and included in an e-mail I sent out. If you did not receive that e-mail, then e-mail me.

The article is about research Anyon and her graduate students conducted on fifth grade classrooms. She splits the schools they looked at into four different categories based on the income of the parents. As you read, pay special attention to how language arts is taught in the four different types of schools. Given the fact that these are all public schools, what is significant about the differences? Also, consider how Anyon's research relates to Freire's theories.
