How does your argument square with an insistence on developing critical thinking skills and multiple literacies...literacies across platforms (text, media, etc.) that are proving to be inspiring and empowering tools for youth expression? These are, of course, a bit meta in response...but still, where are they in your thinking?<br /><br />As for integrating reading/writing expectations across the curriculum, I find it a bit pantywaste to bemoan the notion that our math, history, science, and sociology colleagues should expect more of their students' communication abilities. <br /><br />Oh, and last I checked, informational texts and formal writing are far from empty when it comes to personal emotional understanding, critical thinking, or self-expression.
