Multimodality and Immigrant Children (Response to Marni Binder)
Campano, Gerald; Low, David
Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, v12 n4 p381-384 2011
This response to Marni Binder reflects upon two examples of (im)migrant children's artwork and challenges the dominant notion that (im)migration experiences--and their subsequent portrayals--can be fit into neat slots. The authors position multimodal composing opportunities as affording children a vital instrument for deploying their full semiotic repertoires to defy stereotypes and capture the complexities of experience. (Contains 1 figure.)
