VISUAL LITERACY is key in our fast-paced digital culture crammed with advertising, persuasive language, film, social media and plenty of other graphic information! Whew! Studying the way visual and written language work together helps students make sense of their world and understand how they're manipulated by such a powerful combination.

 

Once you've completed this engaging and robust unit, your students will be equipped to:

  • Read and
  • present visual language productions.

 

And guess what? This requires NO PREPARATION from you! You'll be all set to go!  Even better, we've made this COMPLETELY EDITABLE!
