Melanie Sperling Stanford University ; Laura Woodlief Stanford University

Abstract

Investigates how classroom communities were created to support students’ writing in two contrasting grade-10 English classrooms: one in a low-income urban school with a diverse population, one in a middle-class suburban school. Analyzes class discussions to see how they functioned in creating community. Portrays writing in both classrooms as socially situated.
