Book Description:
|
Building on her award-winning research which emphasises that play is an early literacy, Wohlwend has developed a curricular framework for children ages 3 to 8. The Literacy Playshop curriculum engages children in creating their own multimedia productions, positioning them as media makers rather than passive recipients of media messages. The goal is to teach children to critically interpret the daily messages they receive in popular entertainment.
