Re-framing literacy : teaching and learning in English and the language arts

This text explicates a model for the integration of language arts and literacy education based on the notion of framing. Framing as a unifying principle derives from the frames used in the visual and performing arts, and is also a concept that has been used in sociology. The act of framing - not frames in themselves - provides a creative and critical approach to English as a subject
