Some of the literal terms he used was, the visual which refered broadly to a focus on visual elements and materials of communication. He also used the term composer/designed to describe the complex set of activities involved in such a creative and strategic task. Other terms he uses is reder/viewer and reading/viewing.
Some of the provide approaches to visual texts is:
1. The assignments connect with is.
2. Most of the assignments deal at some level with a combination of both visual and alphabetic literacties.
3. And most of the assignments do not require teachers or students to use sophisticated computer environments as contexts for visual assignments
4. Importantly, I would add that most of the assignments involve teachers and students as co-learners in the project of paying increased attention to visual texts.
