Disengagement Of Male Students In Remediated Ela Classes, Joanne Berardi Martin
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this action research was to examine the disengagement of male students in remediated English Language Arts (ELA) classes.

Reading With Joysticks: Video Games In The English Language Arts Classroom, Wesley Wingert
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

The paper then suggests that video games as literature can offer opportunities and skills beyond what traditional literature can, including problem solving and communication skills. Next, the paper lays out a framework to be used in order to …
