Reading Saved My Life

Are your students prepared to read in the real world? Charts,

graphs, tables, political cartoons, maps, photographs, paintings

– literacy is much more than words written in a text. This half-

literacy skills necessary to interpret the multitude of texts they

will encounter in their 21st century world. We will explore how

professionals such as scientists, historians, photographers,

artists and business people summarize their findings and

communicate their viewpoints through visual media. Emphasis

will be placed on developing step-by-step approaches to
