Ask a question, share a suggestion, etc. Be constructive and polite. Blog! Topics? Comics in the classroom? Multimodal texts: lesson possibilities? How did your literacy experiences as a student inform your current teaching philosophy?

- #5: A reader may need to process several of these codes, acting together and interacting with others, to construct meaning. If you look at our current English curriculum documents in Ontario, these semiotic systems are equally distributed.\n
