"Our time is a time for crossing borders, for erasing old categories, for probing around. When two seemingly disparate elements are imaginatively apposed, put in apposition in new and unique ways, startling discoveries often result.”

What Do We Mean By "Interweaving the Strands"?
By “strands,” we imagine the curriculum strands of speaking, reading, writing and media study; or the strands of conversation, observation and product that flourish in our classrooms; or the strands of thinking, feeling, action, and reflection. Indeed, there are other possible interpretations, and we welcome them. By “interweaving,” we imagine something intertextual, something hands-on, something vital being woven into eclectic fabric in a teaching and learning situation. |
