| Summary: | This book introduces a multimodal arts-based teaching technique known as juxtaposed visual representation, arguing that it is a powerful pedagogical tool that serves a variety of key functions including formative assessment, facilitating comparisons of similar concepts, deepening classroom discussion and helping students revise writing drafts successfully. Each chapter includes rich examples of these various functions drawn from the author's teacher education courses, and shows how the method can improve teacher candidates' learning of important concepts in literacy such as code-switching/meshing, the role of the canon in literacy instruction and literary and critical theory. |
