| Language arts teachers tend to be text-oriented—comfortable in the world of reading and writing. However, the world in which our students live is increasingly visual. They are bombarded by images. We ignore that world at our peril. In this class, we’ll look at the interplay between photography and writing, and the uncanny parallels between them. We may find out that our students already know a great deal about images. We will look at how we can tap into their understanding of the visual worldto help them become stronger writers. Ralph Fletcher’s most recent professional book is Focus Lessons: How Photography Enhances the Teaching of Writing (Heinemann). |
