Literacy Moves On - Chapters 1-5

The first chapter focused on Multimodal texts which I found very interesting since that is really what we were working on with at MRP pieces. This allowed the students and the reader of the MRP papers to look beyond just the research and see the deeper elements that are going on in the topica t hand. This really helped me to see that students might learn more from more indepth complicated assigments instead of just having them do worksheets and answer questions that are not critical thinking. It would probably benefit my students and much more if we looked at the deeper meaning behind what we are learning instead of just skimming the stop and staying on the surface of what we are trying to learn which I think really takes place quite often.
