Abstract
Discusses how English/language-arts teachers can actively teach students to use a socially critical lens for thinking. Considers three modes of teaching this. Discusses how, once students have a least 10 notebook entries focused on social issues, “noticings,” and questions, they should be able to reread their notebooks for themes that have captured their attention.
