In her essay on Vygotsky on Thinking and Speaking in the Cambridge companion to Vygotsky,(2007) Vera John-Steiner cites some of Vygotsky's most famous examples, i.e. inner speech as "speech turning inward"; thought as a "cloud shedding a shower of words"; "consciousness is reflected in a word in a word as the sun in a drop of water". (p.151). Yes I know "tool" is a controversial example to some people :-). Can you folks think of any others ? Thank-you in advance for any help with this. Robert Lake Robert Lake Ed.D.
