I thought that you could tell so much about the students by their designs. I have always thought about critical literacy as a process that takes texts apart. It is great to see that children can engage in critical thinking by putting texts back together in a different way. It is definitely educational for students to be able to look at the message a text sends, but I think that it is even better for students to think of alternate ways to create a text because not only does this expose what is “wrong” with a text (for lack of a better word), it allows students to change it for the better.

Your story is a great demonstration of what happens when children work on projects and ideas that are meaningful to them! Thanks C. vivian Thanks for sharing this story Charles.

I hope to have 49 out soon, though I should be working on it instead of replying here. My oldest told me this morning that she had created a car game while riding in the car with me. She stated it was a "reality based game" where you get points if you find certain things, like a person talking on a cell phone. She and her brother came up with a whole list of items and as each one thought of some to idea they would explain why they thought that item should be added to the list. By the time we reached our destination the oldest had the complete game written down with a purpose, directions and rules. I was so in awe of her completeness and both of my children's cooperation and imagination that I just had to share. Hehe, you’re so sweet. I hope to have 49 out soon, though I should be working on it instead of replying here.

Vivian, what a great show! Each week I think "Wow, that was great, how will she be able to top that?!", and each week you do. This episode reminded me about the games my wife and I played with our children when they where younger (and still do), such as naming fruits and veggies at the store, describing their colors and textures, adding and subtracting. Now, with the older one, we analysis nutritional information when shopping. She is also computing tips for me. :D With the younger one we are adding, subtracting items while we shop. Can't wait for the next show. Welcome back! Howdy from Texas (in response to your aloha ). Vivian, what a great show!

I hope to have 49 out soon, though I should be working on it instead of replying here.
My oldest told me this morning that she had created a car game while riding in the car with me. She stated it was a “reality based game” where you get points if you find certain things, like a person talking on a cell phone. She and her brother came up with a whole list of items and as each one thought of some to idea they would explain why they thought that item should be added to the list. By the time we reached our destination the oldest had the complete game written down with a purpose, directions and rules. I was so in awe of her completeness and both of my children’s cooperation and imagination that I just had to share.

Vivian, what a great show! Each week I think "Wow, that was great, how will she be able to top that?!", and each week you do. This episode reminded me about the games my wife and I played with our children when they where younger (and still do), such as naming fruits and veggies at the store, describing their colors and textures, adding and subtracting. Now, with the older one, we analysis nutritional information when shopping. She is also computing tips for me. :D With the younger one we are adding, subtracting items while we shop. Can't wait for the next show. Welcome back! Howdy from Texas (in response to your aloha ). Vivian, what a great show!

I thought that you could tell so much about the students by their designs. I have always thought about critical literacy as a process that takes texts apart. It is great to see that children can engage in critical thinking by putting texts back together in a different way. It is definitely educational for students to be able to look at the message a text sends, but I think that it is even better for students to think of alternate ways to create a text because not only does this expose what is “wrong” with a text (for lack of a better word), it allows students to change it for the better.

Can't wait for the next show. Welcome back! Howdy from Texas (in response to your aloha ). Vivian, what a great show! Each week I think “Wow, that was great, how will she be able to top that?!”, and each week you do. This episode reminded me about the games my wife and I played with our children when they where younger (and still do), such as naming fruits and veggies at the store, describing their colors and textures, adding and subtracting.

Sun, 12 Feb 2012 05:15:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Courtney Vintch http://www.bazmakaz.com/clip/2006/11/16/everyday-texts-and-popular-culture-_-clip19/comment-page-1/#comment-10305 Courtney Vintch Wed, 05 Dec 2007 00:12:44 +0000 http://www.bazmakaz.com/clip/?p=59#comment-10305 I love the assignment that you gave your students to redesign the fruity peel out box! I thought that you could tell so much about the students by their designs. I have always thought about critical literacy as a process that takes texts apart. It is great to see that children can engage in critical thinking by putting texts back together in a different way. It is definitely educational for students to be able to look at the message a text sends, but I think that it is even better for students to think of alternate ways to create a text because not only does this expose what is “wrong” with a text (for lack of a better word), it allows students to change it for the better.

I also love to hear about what children are up to both in and outside of school. Your story is a great demonstration of what happens when children work on projects and ideas that are meaningful to them! Thanks C. vivian Thanks for sharing this story Charles.

I hope to have 49 out soon, though I should be working on it instead of replying here. My oldest told me this morning that she had created a car game while riding in the car with me. She stated it was a "reality based game" where you get points if you find certain things, like a person talking on a cell phone. She and her brother came up with a whole list of items and as each one thought of some to idea they would explain why they thought that item should be added to the list. By the time we reached our destination the oldest had the complete game written down with a purpose, directions and rules. I was so in awe of her completeness and both of my children's cooperation and imagination that I just had to share. Hehe, you’re so sweet.

Vivian, what a great show! Each week I think "Wow, that was great, how will she be able to top that?!", and each week you do. This episode reminded me about the games my wife and I played with our children when they where younger (and still do), such as naming fruits and veggies at the store, describing their colors and textures, adding and subtracting. Now, with the older one, we analysis nutritional information when shopping. She is also computing tips for me. :D With the younger one we are adding, subtracting items while we shop.

Another completely inspiring/defeating, energizing/exhausting CLIP episode. Just knowing there are teachers with your brains and heart and that there are young lives in the good hands of unbelievably talented and dedicated teachers like you fills me with hope. Meanwhile, my kids have me, and their teachers, and their Star Wars movies at school -- Yikes!! Thanks for another juicy, warm and thought-provoking episode of CLIP. Safe home, Andrea Oh Vivian!
