Each unit of study presented contains suggestions for selecting cornerstone texts and visual images and launching the unit, as well as lesson plans, text sets, and analysis guides. These units are designed to be readily adapted to fit the needs of a variety of settings and grade levels. Book Features: An accessible introduction to visual literacy and multimodality. Classroom strategies and demonstrations for analyzing and interpreting multimodal texts. Hands-on examples of units of study for ten types of multimodal texts.
