adolescent literacy: Mjoe article says that adolescent literacy is a socially situated and mediated experience within social and cultural practices of literacy. Teachers should stay in touch with pop culture and new technology to possibly incorporate in the classroom because this will connect a students social and cultural practices into the classroom building motivation and comfortability.

I think a great environment in an adolescent period is trust and understanding. Students, especially during adolescent period, are too wrapped up in peers liking them they shouldn’t worry about feeling stupid in class either. Adolescent teachers should bring in curriculum that covers all learning types. This can be captured with modern technology in the classroom, once finished with an assignment students can finish other homework, and read a book of their choosing. I am a little hesitant about telling students they can go outside if they please because I was in high school once, I know I would go outside to do absolutely nothing or try to bail out on class and not go back. It really depends on the type of students a teacher has in the classroom in order to make an efficient adolescent friendly developmental curriculum.
