Those of you who were present at the last Inkshed Conference
may remember our panel on "Visual & Verbal Literacies." Well,
we've had an opportunity, recently, to put some of the theory
discussed there to the practical test: with the help of 10
students here at UCC, another faculty member & I have constructed
a web site which, I think, begins to implement an integration
of the visual & the verbal.
Sponsored by the National Library (& funded by Industry Canada)
we've created a site designed to introduce high school & first-year
university students to the work & criticism of Earle Birney. Earle's
Url is http://www.cariboo.bc/ae/e_birney/home.htm
My students & I would welcome any feedback--suggestions, additions,
bouquets, ...
We look forward to hearing from you (& we hope that the new
resource--that will soon be linked to the SchoolNet network--
may be of use in some of your own classrooms).
Regards, Will
