"Generalist literacy instruction is designed to help learners navigate the world of informational text-especially online text-as we try to make sense of important issues for which we have had little academic preparation. How do we prepare students to deal with these kinds of questions and, even more important perhaps, how do we help them to make sense of the informational texts they find?"--
