Speaking but Not Being Heard: Two Adolescents Negotiate Classroom Talk about Text.

Hinchman, Kathleen A.; Young, Josephine Peyton

Journal of Literacy Research, v33 n2 p243-68 Jun 2001

Explores how two students participated in classroom talk about written text. Finds students participated in talk in complicated, devolving ways over a school year--one participated in class talk about text with an assumption of expertise, only to lose credibility when his teacher expected richer insights; the other participated with such talk with an assumption of equality, yet no one listened.
