Children reading metafiction: Exploring critical and creative thinking on multimodal novels in the primary classroom

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Lucian Stephenson .

This seminar will present findings from a qualitative case study in which a Year 6 class reads and responds to David Almondā€™s My Name is Mina (2010). In doing so it will employ a Bakhtinian perspective on literature, dialogue and education to examine how childrenā€™s novels use multimodality to challenge readers by disrupting narrative conventions, offering them instead a multiplicity, or at least a doubling, of reading positions. These aid the children in playfully exploring and reflecting on subjectivity, language and storytelling.

Bio

Eve Tandoi is in the process of finishing her PhD at the Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge. She is a qualified primary teacher and has experience of teaching childrenā€™s literature and theory at an undergraduate level.
