Eve-- I like the dance-with-the-world visualization. For my purposes,
there is a nice extension to the social thinking that goes on during
communication. I teach public speaking, a pedagogy that has nearly died
at the hands of the "scriptist bias." Students like the certainty of
being able to capture words on paper and read them to an audience, but
that has almost nothing to do with the process that I am trying to
teach. Is this because my students are being indoctrinated during their
K-12 education to understand thinking as an exclusively literate
process?
