Vygotsky (1978) states that goal driven work must be mediated. The mediation can be the reader's notebook
However, how students responses come from the student. They do the thinking. The responses are not teacher driven.
"Responses are predominantly teacher assigned, and the teacher is often the only intended audience. Consequently, students don't develop a sense of ownership of their responses...nor a sense of purpose beyond pleasing the teacher." (Kesler, T 2018, p. 3)
"The emphasis on primarily written responses prevents other modes of expression. Kress, (2000) laments, "The single, exclusive and intensive focus on written language has dampened the full development of all kinds of human potentials" (p. 156).
In teacher led notebooks, "most of these responses are retrospective accounts of reading (Hancock, 1993). Students respond after reading the text.
"Limiting responses to after reading denies students opportunities to develop the thinking during reading or what Hancock (1993) calls introspective journeys." Kesler, p 4
Randy Bomer calls this the "commodification of knowledge." Kesler, p. 4
"What is important is they are noticing the world. They are making connections. They are asking questions. They are participating by thinking" Linda Rief (2007, p. 35).
"Literacy is much broader than language,"
(Short, Harste, 1996, p. 14).
Transmediation- "is the process of transforming the meaning in one sign system, such as language, into another sign system, such as drawing."
(First by Suhor (1984) dev more by Short and Harste (1996)
A text is any coherent organization of signs in any mode or modal ensemble that communicates meaning to an audience.
(Kesler, p. 8)
