“Rule of Replacing.” He says, “I sort of always call it the rule of replacing ‘ands’ with either ‘buts’ or ‘therefores,’ and so it’s always like ‘this happens’ and then this happens and then this happens—whenever I can go back in the writing and change that to—this happens, therefore this happens, but this happens—whenever you can replace your ‘ands’ with ‘buts’ or ‘therefores,’ it makes for better writing.”

“Story is a set of details about a person’s (or persons’) experience, arranged in a deliberate structure, which gives it specific meaning and universal appeal. Story structure is a process in which a hero does something challenging in order to gain something crucial.”

“At the risk of oversimplification, one aspect of CRP strives to use learners’ cultural ways of being and knowing as a vehicle for instruction as well as a source of content, while place-based learning takes as its starting point the varying contexts from which learners come—though both certainly can and do draw from cultural and contextual sources of knowledge.”

“Shake up the embodied discursive world of teacher education so we don’t produce the same repressed, rigid teachers who will move on to K– 12 settings and construct similarly repressive spaces.”

“Spanish-language literacy development needs to be contextualized and embedded in real-world experiences that are completed for authentic purposes such as volunteering with Spanish monolingual children or elders, shadowing a Spanish-English court interpreter, or writing an immigration narrative of a family member. Reading and writing thus is not an end in itself, but a necessary means for effective communication, especially if that communication holds meaning for the student. Through authentic practice, students will understand how developing their Spanish-language literacy can be useful to them and may realize that classroom learning can develop skills that are not readily developed through casual conversation.”
