''She would've still made that face expression'': The use of multiple literacies by two African American young women

Article Abstract:

A multiple literacies and traditional approach to literacy is discussed by drawing on the experiences of two African American young women in a high school English classroom. It is found that teachers who use a more traditional approach to literacy are more apt to view students powerless, failing, struggling and having low literacy abilities, whereas teachers who use a multiple literacies approach are more likely to interrogate power relations.
