Blog 8 Farrell, Arizpe, and McAdam

This article explains different ways immagrant and non-immagrant children repond to a picture book. Researchers work with small groups children, which half the group of children are considered immigrants. The researches wanted to pursue in this research because they felt the immgrant children do not express themselves as much as non-immgrant children.

They found that non-immgrant children had trouble writing about the book and that immgrant children were able to write comments without any problems. They thought that this result was because the immgrant children had experience in immigration. Also, immgrant children are able to use more pictorial clues to understand the text.

Methonds for this article would be interpreting the data that includes intertextuality, design, and analying intentions. They also stated that they used annotated spread to gather data. They were able to use this to find experiential, interpersonal, and interpretive responses.
