Literacy Vision
Literacy involves exploring and creating written, oral, and visual texts, to expand and deepen an understanding of both real and imagined worlds in order to gain insight into our own identity, the lives of others, and the world we live in.
Text and texts are generic terms referring to all forms of oral, written, visual and digital communication.
Examples are:
- Oral texts include speeches, poems, plays, and oral stories.
- Written texts include novels, articles, and short stories.
- Visual texts include posters, photographs, and other images.
- Digital texts include electronic forms of all the above.
- Oral, written, and visual elements can be combined (e.g., in dramatic presentations, graphic novels, films, web pages, advertisements).
