DESCRIPTION:"_Children make meaning in the form of images\, music\, dance\
 , drama and media arts as much as reading and writing. They are basic tool
 s of communication. Children’s literacy learning through these modes sho
 uld be observable and measurable._"\n\nThis seminar provides opportunity f
 or you to problematise the above statement\, and to examine how the integr
 ation of different modes of text might work together in children's music i
 mprovisation to organise and develop information and ideas. Discuss how tr
 anscripts of videos as selective constructions\, not objective evidence\, 
 can assist learning. \n\n*Bio*\n\n*MICHELLE TOMLINSON* is an Adjunct Resea
 rch Associate at Griffith University\, Australia. Her interest in Social S
 emiotics involved studying video analysis with Gunther Kress at IOE\, Lond
 on and Theo van Leeuwen (Sydney University of Technology). Using multimoda
 l text analysis that is freed from the dominance of the written and spoken
  word\, she focuses on gesture\, music and visual spaces as crucial to lit
 eracy and storytelling\, Her transcriptions of these modes inform learning
  in the arts.
