| Description: |
This book gives teachers an understanding of the research behind visual literacy, and ideas for putting it into practice in their classrooms. It is ideal for any teacher wanting to incorporate film, comics, internet, or any other visual media into their teaching. |
| Synopsis: |
Educators today understand that literacy involves at least five processes: reading, writing, speaking, listening, and viewing. This thoughtful and practical book by a team of literacy experts offers classroom teachers a guide to using visual forms of information as tools for literacy development. The authors provide strategies for fostering visual and critical literacy competencies and increasing student engagement through the use of picture books, comic books, graphic novels, traditional films, anime, and other visual sources of information. Each chapter examines relevant research and theory, and presents practical applications for the classroom. |
