- Abstract
This research describes a semester-long critical literature unit taught as a means to engage rural pre-service teachers (n=24) in discussions of those unlike themselves and to support understandings of how to conduct effective literacy instruction through the use of literature circles. Findings highlight the ways in which pre-service teachers discussed and negotiated understandings of critical issues of gender, race, culture, and social class during discussions. Implications for practice and teacher preparation are discussed.
