But can we assume that children build knowledge simplythrough their interactions with materials and each other? How can we besure that students are engaged in meaningful and productive scientificinquiry? In \u003ci\u003eCreating Scientific Communities,\u003c\/i\u003e two classroom teachersand two university researchers reveal what a better understanding of earlyscientific literacy can tell us. \u003cp\u003eBased on transcripts of classroom conversations and samples of children's writing, \u003ci\u003eCreating Scientific Communities\u003c\/i\u003e looks at the social context of the elementary classroom and its impact on science teaching and learning. In lessons structured much like those in a writers workshop, group work in science is bracketed by whole class meetings, providing numerous opportunities for students to construct meaning through dialogue with each other and their teacher. Throughout the lessons, the teachers use a variety of discourse strategies--including questioning, modeling, and dialogue journals--to support, extend, and ultimately assess their students' understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn approach to scientific inquiry that centers on group work and dialogue is necessarily unpredictable. Teachers must be purposeful, yet flexible, and collaboration must be guided by shared rules and norms. In \u003ci\u003eCreating Scientific Communities,\u003c\/i\u003e you will witness how these teachers and researchers collaborated to develop classroom environments in which students learn more than scientific concepts and procedural skills, they acquire the values and attitudes associated with successful scientific collaboration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50348476858641,"sku":"CIN0325000085G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0325000085.jpg?v=1750877787"},{"product_id":"traces-codes-and-clues-book-maureen-t-reddy-9780813532028","title":"Traces, Codes, and Clues","description":"Detective fiction featuring white women and people of color such as Barbara Neelys Blanche White and Walter Mosleys Easy Rawlinshas become tremendously popular. Although they are considered \"light reading,\" mysteries also hold important cultural and social \"clues.\" Much recent scholarly work has demonstrated that race is both a cultural fiction not a biological reality and a central organizing principle of experience. Popular writers are likely to reflect the conventions of their own historical situations.    In Traces, Codes, and Clues: Reading Race in Crime Fiction, Maureen T. Reddy explores the ways in which crime fiction manipulates cultural constructions such as race and gender to inscribe dominant cultural discourses. She notes that even those writers who appear to set out to revise outdated conventions repeatedly reproduce the genres most conservative elements. The greatest obstacle to transforming crime fiction, Reddy states, is the fact that the genre itself is deeply embedded in the discourse of white (and male) superiority. There is, therefore, an absolute necessity to break away from that discourse through reversal or other strategies in order to produce work that defies, and thus helps readers to defy, the dominant ideology of race.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50363216953617,"sku":"CIN0813532027G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50648313528593,"sku":"GOR007679344","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0813532027.jpg?v=1757414835"},{"product_id":"everyday-acts-against-racism-book-maureen-t-reddy-9781878067852","title":"Everyday Acts Against Racism","description":"An examination of the effect of racism on children and the community.

This situation changed radically in the early years of the twenty-first century when numerous novels and series set in Ireland and written by Irish authors were published and began generating strong sales at home and abroad. Maureen Reddy examines this phenomenon, analyzing the conditions that gave rise to it and the commonalities among the novels. Reddy places what she calls Hibernian Noir in the context of the social and economic conditions in Ireland from 1998 to 2012 and relates that period to the post-World War I United States that gave rise to hardboiled detective fiction. As Reddy shows, Irish hardboiled fiction participates in the genre's tradition of placing previously marginalized individuals in positions of narrative authority. At the same time, Reddy argues that writers such as Ken Bruen, Benjamin Black, Tana French, Niamh O'Connor, Cormac Millar, Stuart Neville, Brian McGilloway, Declan Hughes, and Declan Burke are collectively working through the problem of defining Irishness and grappling with deep anxieties about a society that is rapidly changing in the face of a globalized, late capitalist culture.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51201386840337,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51201389822225,"sku":"NGR9781472444677","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1472444671.jpg?v=1750858649"},{"product_id":"crossing-the-color-line-book-maureen-t-reddy-9780813523743","title":"Crossing the Color Line","description":"Written by a white woman whose family are black, this combination of literary analysis, autobiography, and ethnography, seeks to signal a new moment of consciousness for all white Americans.
