N2 - Using an interactional ethnography approach, this study analyzes student literacy practices in two Grade 5/6 classrooms that engaged in a science inquiry organized based on the Knowledge Building pedagogy. Students studied human body systems for 10 weeks with the support of Knowledge Forum. While students conducted collaborative inquiry in each classroom, a shared meta-space was available for cross-classroom collaboration. Analysis of classroom observations, interviews, and online discourse elaborated five core features of literacy for knowledge generation, which integrates reading, writing, and dialogue across multiple inquiry forms, media, and discourse spaces for sustained knowledge building.
