Zigo, Diane
Journal of Research in Childhood Education, v13 n1 p56-70 Fall-Win 1998
Describes an ethnographic study that traced the narrative thinking strategies successfully used by adolescents in two self-contained special education classrooms as they made sense of their textbooks and composed original stories based on subject matter studied. Notes role-playing and composing original texts inspired by structured play also helped students tap into narrative thinking as a way of knowing. (Author/LPP)
