Summary Note |
"Identity texts are oral or written texts that reveal some aspect of a student's own life and experiences. They have been used successfully to support the development of language, literacy and especially writing. By embracing and confirming the student's home language and personal story, identity texts lead to greater student engagement and better learning outcomes. 'Tell me your story' suggests a range of pedagogical approaches for working with students in the middle years, illustrated with real-world examples showing how they can be implemented. It combines practical teaching strategies with suggestions for confirming student identity, especially with children from a range of cultural backgrounds." - Back cover. |
