Download Course themes you should be able to address:

The stories we tell,
or reconfiguring literacy
Information and communications
technologies exist so that we can
tell stories.
Stories are about power.
What they say, and how they say it.
Understanding stories requires
literacy; being literate means
having a certain kind of power.
We ‘read’ all kinds of things:
•
•
•
•
•
Texts
Pictures, moving and still
Movements
Tones of voice (written and heard)
Music
Being literate implies the ability
to create meaning, as well as
comprehend it.
Being literate, and using literacy,
is a political act.
The way we tell stories, and
where they are told, is just as
important as what is said or
represented.
