Politics and Delpit’s Two Critiques of Gee

Remember our procedure for making text-to-text connections:

1. Locate a passage from one text (Delpit’s Critique 1)
2. Paraphrase it
3. Find a related passage in another text (Gee’s discussion on p. 7 of how you can’t learn Discourses through overt instruction)
4. Paraphrase it
5. Use what would Author 1 say to Author 2 about a specific example drawn from the text (e.g. What does Delpit say about the Marge example?  How would Gee respond to her?  How would Delpit respond to Gee’s reponse?  Repeat as necessary.)
