Visual Approaches to Teaching Writing: Multimodal literacy 5-11

At the heart of this book lies the conviction that an integrated approach to teaching which takes account of all the dimensions of text will help children achieve in writing and in multimodal composition. This practical guide includes examples of teaching sequences using film, drama, real-life observations, presentation software and the interactive whiteboard based on a flexible planning and teaching model. With accompanying CDROM of downloadable formats, presentational and IWB files, the book includes guidance for school-based CPD in developing multimodal teaching and learning.
