Abstract
Argues that reflecting on important “marker” stories in people’s lives by using counting ropes (based on the children’s book “Knots on a Counting Rope” by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault) helps students and teachers make sense of their complex worlds. Describes how they are used in the author’s language arts methods course. Describes a student-organized Spring literacy conference.
