Complicated Conversations; Artful Story as a Frame for Activist Work
Abstract
This article is taken from the Rethinking Childhood Series book: Quintero, E. P. (2009). Critical Literacy in Early Childhood Education. NY: Peter Lang. The book documents qualitative research with teacher education students and practicing teachers. Integrating traditional content, the arts, and cross-disciplinary ways of knowing, curriculum is framed around critical literacy. The specific text reprinted here addresses transformative actions by preschool children and their teachers. The reader is referred to the complete book for discussions of literary connections with others, constructing meaning through language, and supporting critical reading.
