RésuméIn Reading and Writing Place: Connecting Rural Schools and Communities Erika L. Bass and Amy Price Azano suggest there is a need to add nuance to the ways we consider and engage with place in the classroom. Using a narrative writing project completed with two rural schools in two states, the authors provide an explanation of critical placed education and how students' explorations of place through writing led the authors to develop a concept of place (Big "P" and small "p" place). Students' explorations of place highlighted the how internalizations and externalizations of place impact identity formation and sense of belonging.
RésuméUsing a place-infused narrative writing unit with two rural schools in two different states, the authors argue for a nuanced understanding of using place in the classroom. This book explores how student data led the authors to develop the concept of place: Big "P" Place and small "p" place.
