Information can come in pictures as well as in words, and more usually in the kind of text that combines images with words. Teachers across the curriculum, therefore, have an obligation to teach students how to read and write these visual texts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this activity-laden resource book Steve Moline outlines learning\/literacy strategies that require students to communicate graphically. Over 100 student examples illustrate how students can communicate some concepts better with visual texts than with conventional, word-only texts. These strategies will be especially helpful for students who struggle with writing or who are visual learners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNoted writer and illustrator Steve Moline:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edefines the purpose, context, and outcomes of each kind of visual display;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eexplains how to match written text with the most appropriate type of visual text;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eprovides Big Book examples where many types of visual displays are used;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincludes a chapter on basic graphic design for classroom publishing projects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause visual literacy extends into all subject areas, any elementary classroom teacher will find \u003ci\u003eI See What You Mean\u003c\/i\u003e a helpful source of information and ideas, particularly for thematic work that integrates the curriculum.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stenhouse Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060078002416,"sku":"9781571100313","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781571100313_p0.jpg?v=1763791115","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781571100313","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
