Close Reading: An/other Bell Ringing in the Empty Sky: Greenwashing, Curriculum, and Ecojustice5/27/2018 The central argument of Ng-A-Fook’s “An/other Bell Ringing in the Empty Sky: Greenwashing, Curriculum, and Ecojustice” is about how teacher education, curriculum and ecocritical literacy can be used to change the narrative that is evoked by the updates to the Ontario Curriculum as well as add narratives that are missing from the curriculum, which should not be. Technological progress as a solution to environmental problems is the main narrative that is educed by the curriculum and recognized by the Curriculum Council Report. This narrative is labeled as “anthropocentric and individualistic.” (Ng-A-Fook, 2010, p.45) He goes on to describe how this narrative fails to offer any solutions to the “ongoing consumptive problem of many Canadians” and is unsuccessful in providing a real-world narrative of the places in which Ontario students live.
