Beskrivning

In Reading and Writing Place: Connecting Rural Schools and Communities Erika L. Bass and Amy Price Azano suggest there is a need to add nuance to the ways we consider and engage with place in the classroom. Using a narrative writing project completed with two rural schools in two states, the authors provide an explanation of critical placed education and how students' explorations of place through writing led the authors to develop a concept of place (Big "P" and small "p" place). Students' explorations of place highlighted the how internalizations and externalizations of place impact identity formation and sense of belonging.

Bass and Azano come together to advocate for more attention to the rural student experience in high school classrooms. They are specifically interested in the tension between the perception of rural places and the reality of living there. The framework for the curriculum combines Freire's work on cultural literacy with place-based pedagogy. The book focuses on two rural high school classrooms in different regions of the US: Appalachia and the Midwest. Both regions deal with negative stereotypes associated with their rurality. The authors juxtapose these very different rural regions to show that this pedagogy allows students agency in the classroom and an opportunity to think critically about their communities and their sense of place within discourse communities. The book follows these English classrooms through a 14-section unit on narrative writing and memoirs. The units help students learn about externalized and internalized relationships to place. The text provides student work examples from both high schools and thorough lesson plans and rationales. Recommended. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals.
