Abstract	This study focuses on ways that sixth graders reacted to the question of book awards and awards in general, positioning themselves as reflective inquirers as they engaged in the regular sixth-grade beginning-of-the-year curriculum--reading books that have been nominated for the state book award. The authors focus on four dispositions of critical stance--conscious engagement, trying on alternate ways of being, responsibility to inquiry, and reflexivity. (Contains 2 figures.) (ERIC).
