The document discusses using multimodal texts and comics in the classroom. It provides an agenda for the class that includes discussing the use of semiotic systems in meaning making, examining examples of multimodal texts, and making the case for using comics and graphic novels in lessons. The class will also discuss myths and misconceptions about comics, programs used in Ontario schools, and what can be taught using comics. Students are asked to redesign a past lesson using a multimodal text and share it on their blog, and to comment on classmates' blog posts for the following week.
