February's Take 2 Feature!
If you need an exciting way to engage your students, look no further: Star Wars, Spiderman, Ally McBeal and The Incredibles are making their way into the language arts classroom. Robyn Seglem, Shelbie Witte, and Judy Beemer's “21st Century Literacies in the Classroom: Creating Windows of Interest and Webs of Learning” article not only provides valuable information on the use of multiple literacies, but it shows increased student engagement by connecting popular culture with the analysis of literary elements in traditional text.
