Learning the Language of Home: Using Place-based Writing Practice to Help Rural Students Connect to Their Communities
Summary. Place-based writing practices strengthen rural middle school students' connections to their home communities. The study used critical pedagogy of place as its framework, examining how writing assignments help students explore and articulate their relationship with their local environment. Conducted in a North Carolina rural middle school, the qualitative research shows that writing about place shapes student identity and deepens community engagement.
