Uploaded by : Essays-Now.com

A 3 page research paper that discusses Haas Dyson’s studies of young children, which encompasses the “social and ideological processes” that underlie “children’s use of media symbols—especially the superhero—as material for constructing textual and social worlds” (Hass Dyson 3). In her text she shows the ways in which popular culture is an omnipresent element in a second grade classroom that aids children in linking “literacy, identity and their relations and representation of self” both within the school environment and the broader context of their communities (“Popular Culture”).
