Revisiting Multiliteracies / In-class Final Project Work – class 9 ppt (link)
Reflecting on the Why, What and How of Multiliteracies (20 Years After)
1. The New London Group. (1996). A pedagogy of multiliteracies: Designing social futures. Harvard Educational Review.
2. Watch: 416Lit.com: A case study in multiliteracies and new pedagogies. (already viewed in preparation for the final project, but feel free to use this as a jumping off point)
First half: Since The New London Group wrote of multiliteracies in 1996, how has the educational system responded (or failed to respond) to this key document?
In your groups, work through the article and consider if or how contexts and approaches (the what and the how) have changed. Does this framework need to be updated to address new issues? How? What readings/concepts from the course help you think about ways this topic has been approached or enacted (or not) and how it could be updated to speak to our world today? And how does the video (416Lit.com) speak to issues and key terms in the reading?
