Recenzje

"This book fills a great need that has existed since our world of reading and writing became so multimodal. Boyd White and Amélie Lemieux provide an entrée into the world of aesthetics for any teacher who is interested in adding to their students' responsive palettes. The technique of using 'aesthetigrams,' as described by White and Lemieux, will enable teachers and students to share a common vocabulary for articulating what is often difficult to articulate." -William Kist, Professor, Kent State University, Author, New Literacies in Action and Getting Started with Blended Learning
