Using Remix with Readers and Writers
Using Remix to Engage Student Readers and Writers discusses how remixing existing works can be used as an instructional strategy to engage students. Remixing involves choosing parts of original works, rearranging and reworking them, and adding new elements to create a new work. This allows for authentic audience, multimodal composing, and interest-driven participation. Examples of remixes include mashing up movie trailers or speeches. When done properly with transformative purpose, remixing can be considered fair use under copyright. The document advocates using remixing to build learning communities and assessing student work to support learning.
