Bridging Technology and Literacy
Multimodal Reading & Writing
Why?
-
We consider multimodal composition to be important because giving students the power to represent their ideas and thinking using various modes of communication provides opportunities for them to display both their knowledge and application of their knowledge (Jewitt, 2008).
-
Multimodal composition is also represented in the Common Core State Standards.
What?
-
The incorporation of multimodal composition into K-6 classrooms.
