Comics, Collage, and Other Things with Crayons: The Power of Composing with Image
Jessi Thomsen
English Journal, v107 n3 p54-61 2018
This article examines the power of composing images as students construct identities and shape their own worlds. It illustrates student empowerment through agency, intellectual engagement, and community investment and suggests that composing with images forms a bridge back to alphabetic-centric composing.
