Meeting Readers: Using Visual Literacy Narratives in the Classroom
Sara Kajder
Pacey, a likable and literate eighth-grader, saw school as “a place that kills your reading.” With this alarming condemnation in mind, Kajder uses literacy narrative―a short, concise, digital video in which students meld still images, motion, print text, and soundtrack in communicating ideas/insights/discoveries about who the student is as a reader and writer―to tap into his out-of-school literacies, engage his interests, and get him reading and writing successfully inside the classroom.
