  Bread and Dreams: Draft - Limitations of the Case Study

  A draft from May 1982 of a section of the final report "Limitations of the Case Study", part of which appeared as the final section of the book of the project.

  Bread and Dreams: Notes and Questions for Reports

  Handwritten notes (in an examination book) with a series of questions and discussion points about case study focused on bilingual schooling. Headings are "The Problem of Generalising from the Case" and "Bilingual Schooling - a checklist of questions", further divided into: "The Context", "Assignment", "Scheduling", "Curriculum Organisation", "Pedagogy/Learning" and "Social Relations".
