“Where I’M From”: Utilizing Place-Based Pedagogy And Multimodal Literacy In A Graduate Children’S Literature Class, Stephanie M. Bennett
Middle Grades Review
In this study, I examined integrating place-based education pedagogy and multimodal literacies into a graduate level children’s literature class. The findings suggest including place-based education pedagogy allows middle level graduate students to connect to geographically-based children’s literature. The findings also propose that incorporating multimodal texts into classroom assignments expands graduate students perceptions of text. Implications for implementing the assignment into 4-8 grade classes is discussed.
