OverviewThe visual plays a central role in multimediated, computerized culture. The question is: how can we exploit the intersections between the visual and the verbal to improve learning? This text explores ways to capitalize on visually connected pedagogy. While the chapters point to a small part of the ever increasing, multidisciplinary literature now available in the visual literacy area, in general it presents actual practices in language and visual learning. To emphasize the need to examine our disciplinary objectives, the activities also demonstrate how to adapt language and visual arts pedagogy across disciplines and how much we can learn from the practices of other disciplines. The activities in the book aim to help teachers lead students to the sources (metaphors, mental images, problem-solving algorithms, culturally coded responses) from which their writing and language abilities originate. Doing so offers teachers and students opportunities for powerful learning experiences. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Pamela B. Childers , etc. , Eric H.
