In school, we can see the movement in her literacies as she writes, draws, and designs texts on pages and screens during the daily writer's workshop in her classroom, and in the weekly digital writer's workshop held in the school's computer lab. Across these social spaces, Jewel shifts her body, her texts, and her identities in ways that offer a glimpse of the fluid meanings literacy has for this child of globalization.
