"Welcome to the Jam": Popular Culture, School Literacy, and the Making of Childhoods.
Dyson, Anne Haas
Harvard Educational Review, v73 n3 p328-61 Fall 2003

Storytelling and play involved recontextualization (borrowing, translating, retelling) of the material. Context shaped their participation in school literacy practices. (Contains 70 references.) (SK)
