Plot
What do classroom teachers do on a daily basis to incorporate the study and production of texts in multiple media? What are some of their assignments? How do teachers assign grades in a classroom where the final project may be a sculpture, a film, or a website? This book answers these and many other questions by examining the work of pioneers: teachers who have transformed their classrooms in an effort to broaden the literacy of their students.

Describing some of the most innovative examples of teaching and learning, this volume:
Applies the ideals of new literacies teaching to the realities of the classroom, offering practical guidance for teachers who wish to use these concepts in their own classrooms.
Documents the outcomes of instruction in these classrooms, both cognitive and affective.
Tells the story of six new literacies classrooms (grades 6-12), including English, language arts, music, art, social studies, technology, and media studies.
Contains actual lessons, assignments, and assessments that have been used successfully in these pioneering classrooms.
Promotes awareness of a broadened definition of literacy in relation to human learning and K–12 education.
