Reading and Writing Instruction in the Twenty-First Century (eBook)

Robert Scholes passed away on December 9, 2016, leaving behind an intellectual legacy focused broadly on textuality. Scholes's work had a significant impact on a range of fields, including literary studies, composition and rhetoric, education, media studies, and the digital humanities, among others. In Reading and Writing Instruction in the Twenty-First Century contemporary scholars explore and extend the continued relevance of Scholes's work for those in English and writing studies. In this volume, Scholes s scholarship is included alongside original essays, providing a resource for those considering everything from the place of the English major in the twenty-first century to best practices for helping students navigate misinformation and disinformation. Reading and Writing Instruction in the Twenty-First Century not only keeps Scholes s legacy alive but carries it on through a commitment, in Scholes s (1998) own words, to offer our students . . . the cultural equipment they are going to need when they leave us.  Contributors:Angela Christie, Paul T.
