Bibliography

Across this subject, I have viewed a wide range of texts that have assisted in the development of my ideas and opinions surrounding literacy.  Due to the nature of this subject, a lot of my ideas were jotted down in my subject book without direct notes on the resources that helped to formulate my ideas. Discussion was also a large part of this subject, so many of my opinions have been moulded through input from my peers. Rather than include only the texts that I directly referenced through this blog, I felt it was more appropriate to list the references that helped to formulate my ideas.
Thank you to my peers from ESS418. Our discussions, group work and even the odd arguement have been fundamental in cementing my views on literacy teaching and learning.
I would like to especially thank Wendy Burdekin for her support, encouragement and wealth of knowledge in teaching us a such a broad topic in a concise, interesting, engagaing and relevant manner, just as all good literacy teachers should!
