Project Title: Images in the Writing Classroom Guide:
Prof Nina Sabnani The objective of this study is to analyze print materials that use images, either as standalone compositions or as part of a sequence, and to examine their possibilities and impact on the English language writing classroom. These materials include picture books, comics, single images, cuttings from newspapers and magazines, and printed photographs. The study will also involve a study of the models of teaching writing currently employed in schools, and where such materials may fit into said models. What role do images have as materials in the writing classroom, either as prompts, or models, or even as part of the final output? Since the output is words (text), can images still play a role in fostering creativity in writing, and in getting learners more involved and motivated in the writing classroom? These are some of the questions that the study intends to explore. The type of writing that this study will look at is narrative/creative writing, and the target age group is students in class 8-9 (13-14 years of age). |
