Abstract

Five questions guided a case study exploring the relationship between oral narrativeand discussion in middle school literature study: (a) Relative to similar classroomsin a large-scale study, how can overall literature instruction be characterized? (b)Relative to similar classrooms in a large-scale study, how well do students achievein the focal classroom? (c) What, if any, are the links between oral narrative anddiscussion? (d) If discussion and narrative co-occur, what sorts of oral narrativesdo narrators tell in discussions? and (e) If discussion and narrative co-occur, howcan we characterize the overlap in terms of interaction? In the frequentconversational narrative discussions, where oral narrative and discussion discourseoverlapped, teacher and students used various kinds of oral narrative genres toprime, sustain, ratify, and amplify discussion.
