Drawing/Writing and the New Literacy: Where Verbal Meets Visual.
Sheridan, Susan Rich
This book describes a drawing-based approach to writing. The first part of the book, "The Reasons Why," provides both background and rationale for the drawing-based literacy program and is in four parts: The Drawing/Writing Experience; Brain Science Informs Education; New Classrooms, New Teachers; and The New Literacy. The second part, "How To Do It," guides the reader through the five steps of the Drawing/Writing process. Part Three, "Hitchhikers' Guide to Brain Science," provides background information from neurobiology useful for understanding Neuroconstructivism as a theory and Drawing/Writing as a practice. Part Four, "The Thinking Child," describes WholeBrain curricular guidelines and strategies, and includes sample English and Fine Arts programs appropriate at the middle, high school, and college levels.
