of a recorded podcast, students now have the opport
unity to thoughtfully add music and
sound effects to their performances. In this fourt
h activity, students completed
Shamburg’s (2008b) activity “Reader’s Theater: The
Next Generation” in which students
recorded an adapted version of Aesop’s Fable
The Bear and the Two Travelers
. Students
fluently read their lines into the microphone, and
then added musical clips and a sound
effect to their recording. This remixed recording
could now be broadcast to the Internet
as a podcast and also played for classroom use.
While students participated in all of these literac
y activities as part of their regular
Language Arts curriculum, the researcher primarily
gathered data through interviews,
surveys, a personal journal, and the observation of
student work.
Data Analysis
As mentioned earlier, this qualitative research ca
se study used the constant
comparative method of analysis. Just as the name i
mplies, the researcher “constantly
compared” (Merriam, 1998, p. 159) data in order to
determine similarities, differences,
and themes. As the researcher conducted the classr
oom activities, data was gathered and
analyzed through the use of interviews, surveys (Ap
pendix D), personal journals, and
through the collection of student artifacts. Appen
dix D is a series of critical questions
adapted from Stephen Brookfield’s “The Classroom Cr
itical Incident Questionnaire”
(Brookfield, 1995, p. 115).

Summary
By utilizing the constant comparative method of analysis within a qualitative
research case study performed in a third grade self
-contained classroom, the primary goal of this case study was to determine how best to
incorporate new literacies

(Brookfield, 1995, p. 115).
data was gathered through the use of interviews, surveys, a personal journal, and the
observation of student work. The following chapter
includes the data findings of this qualitative case study.
