Partial Transcript for CLIP 25

Intro

Hello Everyone. You are listening to show 25 of the CLIP podcast dedicated to Carol Felderman and her 2nd graders at Bailey’s Elementary School in Falls Church Virginia.

Before I go any further I want to share with you that CLIP has been nominated for the Podcast Peer Awards in the Education category and I want to sincerely thank all of you who voted for me originally but who as a result of some unfortunate circumstances which I’ll talk about in a subsequent show, No Prescription zyprexa, actually had to go in and re-cast your votes. I’m not a big awards person but I’m very honored to have been nominated and I feel so validated to see you all voting for me, Generic allegra. So thank you so much.

Tonight’s show focuses on an instance of learning in a kindergarten classroom where a group of children worked on interrogating, disrupting and analyzing the discourses associated with the McDonald’s Happy Meal. Did you know by the way that McDonald’s is now podcasting. Generic clozapine, The series of podcasts is titled “The McDonald’s You Don’t Know”. Generic allegra, It’s claim is to , and I quote, “share the real story of McDonald's”. The one that I viewed called “Moms and McDonald’s” included 10 women from 7 countries who were called upon by McDonald’s to form a global mom’s panel which in the videocast is referred to as an international think tank representing the pulse of what mom’s are asking for. Isn’t that interesting. Hmm….what do you all think of that. There’s really not that much of a change. It’s still hamburgers and chicken nuggets that are central to the happy meal so let’s keep an eye on the effect of this international think tank.

Negotiating Social Action Projects_CLIP21
Partial Transcript

Hello Everyone. You are listening to show 21 of the CLIP podcast, Cheap clarinex Online. Tonight’s show is part two of a three part series, which was recorded on the beautiful island of Hawaii, at the International Reading Association’s Regional Conference which was held there two weeks ago.

I focused my talk on particular critical moves in my life as a literacy educator. In today’s segment you will hear me talking about the second move, Buy kamagra Online, which I refer to as Negotiating Spaces for Critical Literacy. Some of you may have heard me share this story in show number 1. Cheap clarinex Online, My experience in presenting this work has sometimes been met with skepticism regarding whether or not my students really were able to participate in projects dealing with such deep and often difficult social issues. So today, what I will do is take you on brief journey to familiarize you with some of the sights and sounds of the classroom.

The School Site
The school was located in a very diverse, multi ethnic, middle class community just outside Metropolitan Toronto in Ontario, Canada. Although the socio economic context has been designated ‘middle class’, this was not straightforward. Within this area, there were homes occupied by more than one family. The class was a half -day pre school group that met from 8.45am – 11.15am, M-F, Cheap clarinex Online.

Physical Environment and Resources
-The physical space of the classroom was flexible enough to incorporate changes and provide room for innovation and improvisation.

-A wide range of rich resources such as videos, news articles, music, books, everyday texts, art posters and web sites were available. Along with materials needed to support the study of the different issues that interested the class, accupril No Rr.

-Observation was an important feature of practice, as it enabled me to build on children’s interests in important and reflective ways. Cheap clarinex Online, -The carefully constructed environment offered children physical, social, emotional and cognitive spaces in which to engage in their critical projects and, to become co-researchers and participants in collaborative activities.

The Curriculum
The curriculum emerged in an organic way from the cultural and social practices in which my students and I engaged.

Classroom practice was the result of a complex dynamic of theorized practice, each one informing the other. Critical literacy theories impacted approaches to teaching, but the effects of these approaches and the issues raised in practice also affected the theories and understanding of them. The curriculum was not free from curricular mandates and the threat of standardized testing. The School Board dictated specific programs to follow, Cheap clarinex Online. As the classroom teacher, I made sure that I understood what was expected of me through the mandated curriculum in order to demonstrate to parents, colleagues and administrators that our negotiated curriculum surpassed the required curriculum. I did this as a way of creating as much space as I could to engage in the literacy work that I felt would offer my students more opportunities for contributing to social change and that would give them access to more powerful literacies.

As a context for negotiating critical literacies with young children, a critical perspective provided my students with opportunities, as noted by Comber (2005) to;
-Engage with local realities,
-Research and analyze language / power relationships, practices and effects.
-Mobilize students’ knowledge and practices, Discount xenical Without Prescription, -(Re) design texts with political and social intent and real world use,
-Subvert taken for granted ‘school’ texts,
-Focus on students’ use of local cultural texts, and
-Examine how power is exercised and by whom

Everyday Texts and Popular Culture _ CLIP19 Transcript

Aloha. CLIP 19 is coming to you from the beautiful island of Hawaii. Thank you so much to Liana Honda for inviting me as a featured speaker at the International Reading Association’s Regional Conference being held here for the next few days.

When I use the term everyday texts I am referring to texts that are spoken or written, sung, drawn, painted and so forth… as part of everyday life. Order elavil C.O.D, These texts can be so common that we do not carefully take notice of them. As a result we can be less aware of the kinds of messages about our world ,which they convey. Order paxil C.O.D, Since these texts are not natural representations of the world they can be interrogated, deconstructed, and analyzed to uncover different views of the world they could represent. In doing so we are able to make visible the lifestyles and social identities that are constructed through what is presented and how it is presented creating space for the redesign of such texts.

The everyday text I will focus on is the Fruity Peel-Outs box, which are candy fruit snacks for children. Sheets of sweet, sticky, pliable candy come rolled up in individual packages ready for children’s consumption. The work I will describe was done with a group of pre-school children between the ages of 3 and 5 when one of the children in the group brought a box of Fruity Peel Outs to school. This of course brought immediate interest to others in the group as they began calling out things they noticed on it, Order paxil C.O.D. Capitalizing on this interest and re-calling the work done by Comber and Simpson (1995) on analyzing cereal boxes I asked them to pass the box around and had each child name one thing on it that they noticed. While they did this I kept a list of all the items they mentioned. Andre started. “I spy with my little eye Mickey Mouse!” Rola followed, “I spy with my little eye some fruit!”. Order paxil C.O.D, They continued in this fashion integrating one of their favorite games, ‘I Spy’ into the textual analysis I was attempting. For me this was a reminder of possibilities for the ongoing creation of curricular spaces for critical literacy as we moved back and forth between my capitalizing on their interests in the popular snack, and their capitalizing on the activity I had initiated by integrating, into the naming activity, the game ‘I Spy’.

What is difficult in creating these curricular spaces is resisting over-schooling the children’s topics and co-opting their interests thereby diminishing their pleasure with it. These spaces therefore need to be negotiated carefully with attention paid to the interests of all participants, especially the children.

We continued our activity by talking about what kind of work each piece of information could accomplish and discussing who might want that information and why. Part of what I talked about with the children was the ways in which word and images work together and apart to produce differential effects for the reader, Order paxil C.O.D.

Emily noted, “I want the information about peeling the Mickey Mouse shape”. She continued by saying she liked the peel outs better than other snacks because of the Mickey Mouse shapes in the fruity candy. Miguel suggested that his father would want the fruit because “that’s yucky good for you”. Apparently his father only lets him eat ‘good’ snacks. Order paxil C.O.D, Once we had established that various texts and images are desirable to different groups of people and for different reasons, we continued by talking about how , in particular, the words and images work. We began to unpack the linguistic features on the box analyzing the effects, micardis No Rr, on the reader, of the words, pictures and symbols. I did this with them as one way to begin identifying the cultural values being promoted and presented, for whom and in what ways. For instance in a society that is bombarded with informational text on the nutritional values of food it is no wonder that Miguel is drawn to the ‘health aspect’ of the peel outs.

To do this work I discussed with them what they thought were good ideas and bad ideas for texts and images to be included on the box if they were to be re-designed. Following were some of their responses, Order paxil C.O.D.

Andrei: Andrei thought it would be a good idea to include images of fruit and kids to show that the fruits are good for the kids. He thought it was a bad idea to have anything having to do with dirt or garbage because that isn’t good for kids.

Geoffrey: Geoffrey also thought it would be a good idea to include fruit because his mom would buy them if they were good for him. He thought it would be a bad idea to have a person’s name like “Geoffrey” because then “other kids who aren’t Geoffrey won’t think they should buy it”.

Emily: Order paxil C.O.D, Emily drew her family to represent something good that would make them buy the Peel-Outs. She said “people like to be happy and this is happy”. Emily puts on offer a lifestyle as a conceptual frame for selling fruity peel outs. She referred to her design as “the same as on T.V.” referring to recent television commercials and print ads that portray family and peer activities and people doing enjoyable things together as a concept for selling by using very subtle branding of these products. So clearly, different communicative processes are thrown in the mix.

Miguel: Miguel drew a picture of bees to represent a bad idea stating, “If you are allergic then aha – you’ll be scared to death to buy this”, Order paxil C.O.D. He also puts on offer a particular lifestyle that promotes well-being and safety.

I’ve included images of the children’s drawings on the CLIP homepage if you’d like to take a look.

Hilary Janks (1993) notes, that identifying discourses, which are at work in texts, is an important part of reading critically and interrogating texts. Already, the children through their selections of good and bad ideas are making visible the discursive life styles (namely health, safety, and happiness) or ways of being that would lead someone, in particular adults in their lives , Buy augmentin C.O.D, to buy or not buy the Peel-Outs. Order paxil C.O.D, Following this we talked about how language works on consumers, such as themselves. We discussed how words, images, and symbols on the food packaging work to position the ‘buyer’ of the product as a believer, someone who puts faith in what the product claims to deliver. In doing so we touched on the feelings and emotions that are encouraged and promoted through combinations of words and images. We also discussed the notion of temptation and how consumers might be tempted to buy particular products or goods and the role that such elements as font style or color might play.

Having done some deconstructive work we turned our attention to re-designing and creating our own versions of the Peel-Out boxes. To do this I gave the children the option of using a black-line representing the front section of the box, Order paxil C.O.D.

The children then took their collection of good ideas and used them to re-design the Peel Out Box. Following this they considered in what ways words they choose would or would not help sell the product. Emily felt that words would not be helpful if it was on the box but words would be helpful in a television commercial. Without hesitation the children stood from their chairs and began acting out their good ideas. Order paxil C.O.D, While acting out their ideas we talked about the use of music and what kind of music would work or not work – how loud or how soft it should be and why, along with what effect different kinds of music would have on the viewer and on selling the products. More and more learning was generated as we further deconstructed the Fruity Peel-Outs box looking at other areas of the curriculum and talking in the language of science or math from a critical literacy perspective.

We also went online to take a look at the website of the company that manufactures the Fruity Peel Outs. While on the site we discovered a comments page. Deciding on whether or not to submit a comment resulted in another flurry of discussion and activity where the children debated over what to say in their comment. During this debate we talked about how the size of the comment box limits what you can say in terms of the number of words you can use as well as the communication system through which to convey your message, Order paxil C.O.D. Specifically the children talked about how it would take ‘so many words’ to have to explain the designs they created and that having such a small box to submit their comments was very limiting.

So imagine the potential, the learning, and the literacies that were constructed. Certainly not the kind of literacies that stems from mandated prescriptive literacy programs. Also imagine how much more accessible a curriculum that incorporates the use of everyday text and print would be for a linguistically and culturally diverse group of learners. One of the advantages of using popular culture everyday print is that the texts used can and should be negotiated with the children based on what is interesting and intriguing to them and using textual materials available in their lives.
