Beginning with our reading of Foucault with Pencil in hand all the way through Rashid's rockin' demo that has us pondering the reality of the American Dream and debating Obama Care, I've been thinking about the idea of Complex Text, what makes a text "complex," critical literacy and my help inquiry.
I found myself scribbling again in my daybook about Pickles the cat. And I'm thinking too that this "early readers" children's book is really, REALLY a complex text. I haven't gotten past the first section yet in my thinking and I've read this book thousands of times. It was a favorite of mine as a child and I've read it to my children thousands of time. And this read, this time on that day, hit me in a totally different way. Complex, complex text. Going to be spending a lot more time with my pal Pickles.
