This reading was part of a year-long project that saw us collaborating with six expert preschool teachers and over 60 preschool students across three different senior-level preschool classrooms.

Focusing on the dystopian young adult novel, The Secret Under My Skin (McNaughton, 2000), we make generous use of Rosenblatt’s (1995) transactional theory of reader response to critically inquire into past experiences that shape our recurrent views and actions in the classroom. We express our back-and-forth transactions in interspersing sections of poetry, prose and image, including emerging questions to consider as starting points for future engagement with teachers on the integration of sustainability education into the English language arts curriculum at the secondary school level.
