• Presents a unique, potent four-layered framework—that draws from 19th century African American literary salons—to offer an expansive, liberatory understanding of literacy.
• Overcomes the challenges of apathy and low expectations, particularly of students of color, and draws lessons from the past to elevate current instruction.
• Offers a lesson plan framework and template that can be used across all content areas; provides examples of multimodal text sets, lesson plans and artifacts of youth as well as examples of collaborative teaching with content teachers.
