Secondary English Students' Engagement in Reading and Writing about a Multicultural Novel

Explored 9th-grade urban and rural English students' reading engagement and interpretation of a multicultural novel involving bi-ethnic identity. Students read and responded to the novel via journal writing and a research paper. Results indicated that students produced more personal and interpretive reactions to the novel than simple descriptions of events and had a strong sense of agency and voice. (SM)
