Description
Introduction In this article, I will discuss a multiphase project that I designed to engage a group of secondary English preservice teachers in a process of reconceptualizing the initial problematic views of literacy that they held upon entering the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program. The sequential activities of the project (listed below) involved the preservice teachers in acquiring a more complex understanding of literacy and literacy practices. At the center of this project was the idea of literacy narratives. To set up my discussion about the project, I will first explain what a literacy narrative is and then I will outline the specific activities that comprised the project.
