Intermediality: Teachers’ Handbook of Critical Media Literacy challenges the practice of teaching the classics and the canon of acceptable literary works far removed from students’ experiences, with emphasis on across-the-curriculum teaching of critical thinking, critical reading, and critical viewing skills. The authors, Ladislaus Semali and Ann Watts Pailliotet, present literacy education as “intermedial” in nature—it entails constructing connections among varying conceptions and sign systems. Reading printed texts requires more than simply decoding letters into words or sounds; it involves finding meaning, motive, structure, and affect. The same goes for reading the electronic text. Intermediality argues for the discourse of literacy to take up a critical stance by examining a whole wide array of texts that form the meaning-making process of the looming information age. Booknews Eleven contributions from teachers and academics present the case for teaching electronic media literacy in the schools. A variety of case studies using varied strategies are presented for such media as the Internet, television, and other texts and contexts. The goals of promoting multiculturalism and critical thinking are emphasized. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
