Conversations of the Mind: The Uses of Journal Writing for Second-Language Learners
by Rebecca William MlynarczykAsking students to write journals that reflect on their learning has become a widespread pedagogical practice in recent years. However, the scholarly literature does not address certain key questions about how journal writing aids learning: * Is there something inherent in journal writing that encourages students to write reflectively? * What psycholinguistic or cognitive factors help to explain the power of journal writing? * Why do some students use journals to write prolifically and creatively while others limit their responses to summarizing the assigned course reading? * Why do teachers find some journal entries so much more engaging than others? * How do teachers' ways of responding to journals affect their students' development as writers and thinkers? This book addresses such questions through a careful analysis of the journal writing of the students in the author's ESL classes at a large urban college. It contains detailed case studies of five culturally- and linguistically-diverse students with widely differing responses to journal writing. To teachers of composition for both first- and second-language students and to teachers of graduate courses in education and qualitative research, this book offers a contextualized description of journal writings as a complex social activity. By emphasizing the need for educators to reexamine their pedagogy and to learn from their students, Conversations of the Mind is an indispensable contribution to the emerging literature of teacher research and reflective practice.

by Rebecca A. MaynardPublished in 1997. Adolescent mothers are more likely to encounter a variety of economic and social ills than women who delay childbearing until they are adults. This work is a comprehensive examination of the extent to which these undesirable outcomes are attributable to teen pregnancy itself rather than to the wider environment in which most of the pregnancies and the subsequent child-rearing take place.

La llaman América
by Luis J. RodríguezUna niña de nueve años, América Soliz, vive con su familia en el Barrio Pilsen de Chicago. Echa de menos su hogar en México y se siente descontenta en la escuela, donde experimenta el prejuicio contra los inmigrantes mexicanos. América se siente en la fila de atrás del salón de clase y se la pasa soñando con su aldea en Oaxaca hasta que un día un poeta, el Sr. Aponte, visita la clase. "Todos llevamos le poesía por dentro," le dice el Sr. Aponte a la clase e inspira a América a escribir. "Escriban en español o en inglés," exhorta él. América escribe cuentos y poemas, aun cuando su padre dice que es una manera poco práctica de utilizar el tiempo. Tanto el tío como la madre de América disfrutan los cuentos de la chica, y ésta descubre para sí lo que el Sr. Aponte ha dicho en clase. "Cuando se usan las palabras para compartir los sentimientos con otra persona se es poeta y los poetas pertenecen a todo el mundo." A través de la escritura, América se siente "en casa" en el Barrio Pilsen.
La tienda roja
by Anita DiamantProfundamente conmovedora, La tienda roja combina una rica historia con el valor de la ficción moderna: una nueva visión de la sociedad bíblica femenina.Su nombre era Dina y en la Biblia apenas se la menciona para referirse a un violento suceso de venganza que protagonizaron su padre, Jacob, y sus hermanos Simeón y Levi. Única hija de Jacob entre los numerosos varones que este tuvo con Lía, su primera mujer, y con sus otras tres esposas, Zilpa, Raquel y Bilha, todas ellas hijas de Laban. Dina relata su propia historia creando una autentica evocación del mundo femenino en la época del Antiguo Testamento. En aquellos tiempos, las tradiciones, las historias familiares y los conocimientos en general se perpetuaban de generación en generación por medio del linaje materno. Y el traspaso de toda esta sabiduría tenia lugar en la "tienda roja," espacio donde se recluían las mujeres cuando no podían aparecer ante los ojos de los hombres: durante los días del ciclo femenino, después de los partos y en momentos de enfermedad. Allí, Dina explicara las historias de sus "cuatro madres," a partir del día en que Jacob apareció en las tierras de su tío Laban, así como el azaroso traslado de su familia desde las Mesopotamia hasta Canaán, y mas tarde su emigración a Egipto.Pero La tienda roja no es simplemente una reconstrucción del libro del Génesis desde el punto de vista de la mujer, sino una novela histórica minuciosamente investigada que nos introduce en el riquísimo mundo de las tradiciones mas ancestrales. Todo un acopio de normas y conductas imprescindibles para la supervivencia en tierras áridas y desoladas que, además de constituir la base de las religiones judeocristianas, siguen vigentes en algunos rincones del mundo hasta el día de hoy.
