Muultiple Forms of Reading and Writing

Annotated Research

Question: What is the effect of having students engage in multiple forms of reading and writing?

Answer: “More complex combinations of different forms of reading and writing provide a learner with the means to conduct a more critical inquiry of the topic by virtue of the multiple perspectives these activities permit.” W McGinley and RJ Tierney. 1989. P. 218.

Comment: Not sure what this finding means. Multiple forms of reading and writing lead to greater critical inquiry? Worth pursuing. RayS.
