From text messaging to blogging to online gaming, this inspiring guide illustrates ways to build on students’ growing interest in using words and images from their outside lives for authentic reasons. The reading that we value in school is becoming further and further distanced from the “real” literacies that students experience in their outside lives. Keying in on the visual aspects of literacy, the book builds upon students’ growing interest in using words and images from their lives to read and write for authentic reasons and authentic audiences. This intriguing book redefines what it means to be literate in today’s world, integrating such strategies as digital storytelling, visual think-alouds, visual literature circles, and others into English class. By adding visual components to class activities and projects and integrating tools ranging from pencils and paper to “weblogs” and “wikis”, even reluctant students can become engaged and see themselves as readers and writers for the first time.
