Readings to focus on for the case study assignment

Hello all,
   Here is a list of readings that will, in my opinion, help you construct your case study. Some articles like Hull & Rose's "Wooden Shack Place", for example, and Mahiri & Sablo's work as well as the Lee piece provide exemplars of ethnographic case-study papers. Other articles, like Vygotsky's and Scribner's (respective) works offer theoretical lenses, which can be used as conceptual and/or theoretical frames for this assignment.

So, again, in my opinion, you should review the following articles for the case study assignment:

Hull & Rose, "Wooden Shack..."
Mahiri & Sablo, "Writing for their lives..."
Lee, "Beyond the model..."
Scribner, "Literacy in three metaphors..."
Vygotsky, "The prehistory..."

Remember, there are a few examples of case studies interspersed throughout the reader; and, I included the ethnography that I covered in class (my own) in the course-wide dropbox.
