Description
Steve Moline explores visual literacy as fundamental to learning and being human. We are all bilingual, with our second language being visual, influencing how we read and write every day. This revised edition of I See What You Mean includes dozens of new examples of various visual texts, such as time maps, exploded diagrams, smartphone apps, and tactile texts. Moline provides practical strategies for improving students' visual literacy, including the recomposing research strategy that helps students summarize paragraphs into a diagram framework for writing essays. This approach overcomes the problem of "cut and paste" essays, allowing students to create their own answers to familiar questions like "Where do I start? What do I write next?"
