Intermediality

Description:

Intermediality: The Teachers' Handbook of Critical Media Literacy challenges the practice of teaching the classics and the canon of acceptable literary works far removed from students' experiences, with emphasis on learning environment over the presentation of any specific or specified content. The editors, Ladislaus Semali and Ann Watts Pailliotet, present literacy education as "intermedial" in nature - it entails constructing connections among varying conceptions and sign systems. In this book, critical media literacy becomes a competency to read, interpret, and understand how meaning is made and derived from print, photographs, and other electronic and graphic visuals.
