Stories on the Move: Tracing the Flows of Student’s Embodied Literacies

Fri, April 10, 7:45 to 9:15am PDT (7:45 to 9:15am PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: Gold Level, Gold 3

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

This symposium draws on a transliteracies framework (Stornaiuolo et al., 2016) as we bring together researchers working to reimagine traditional notions of embodiment in classroom settings, attending to students’ complex and rapidly changing embodied storytelling practices. This symposium considers how educators invite students to utilize embodied meaning-making practices, how students take up those practices, and what the implications are for literacy educators by asking, what happens when learners are invited to use embodied storytelling to compose and comprehend texts inside and outside of classrooms?
