Diana George talks about the importance of visuals in the classroom. They are not trying to define what makes something visual literacy, but instead argue that “the visual and the verbal are the same, are read or composed in the same way, or have the same status in the tradition of communication instruction” (George 14). George uses the history of media and talks about the neglect it got within classrooms until cultural theory came into play. A connection to the multiliteracies articles to this article is the idea and influence of design on writing. The idea of text being a visible language relates back to the idea of composition and how it should be designed. Much like text, a webpage or movie should also be coherence and have a navigable design for example. Understanding the benefits of visuals and their structure can be a powerful resource for students and their future with a technological world.
