ABSTRACT
Chris and I looked at one another. The question was not at all unexpected. Knowing these students as we did, and in light of the up front honest atmosphere in the classroom, we could expect to be called to “put our money where our mouth was.” These tenth grade students had welcomed me, the university researcher, into their class on a regular, often daily basis, and Chris and I had been forthright about our research project and about our conference presentation the week before. They knew that we had started our conference session with a short improv of two high school students meeting in the cafeteria and discussing the merits and issues of Chris’s drama program and of participating in a research project. Of course they wanted to know how we had represented them to those far away strangers.
