{"product_id":"i-see-what-you-mean","title":"I See What You Mean","description":"Some  educators may view diagrams, pictures, and charts as nice add-on tools  for students who are visual thinkers. But Steve Moline sees visual  literacy as fundamental to learning and to what it means to be human. In  Moline' s view, we are all bilingual. Our second language, which we do  not speak but which we read and write every day, is visual. From reading  maps to decoding icons to using concept webs, visual literacy is  critical to success in today' s world.  The first edition of I See What You Mean,  published in 1995, was one of the first books for teachers to outline  practical strategies for improving students'  visual literacy. In this  new and substantially revised edition, Steve continues his pioneering  role by including dozens of new examples of a wide range of visual  texts--from time maps and exploded diagrams to digital tools like  smartphone apps and tactile texts. In addition to the new chapters and  nearly 200 illustrations, Steve has reorganized the book in a useful  teaching sequence, moving from simple to complex texts.  In one  research strategy, called recomposing, Steve shows how to summarize  paragraphs of information not as a heap of interesting facts but as a  diagram. The diagram can then work as a framework for students to follow  when writing an essay. This overcomes the teacher' s problem of cut and  paste essays, and, by following their own diagram-summary, students  have an answer to their familiar questions, Where do I start? What do I  write next?","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54245519294808,"sku":"9781571108401","price":40.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781571108401_a418cc57-0a42-4635-98de-a049b1e0b1d8.jpg?v=1770503434","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/i-see-what-you-mean","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
