Many of the students whose pieces are included in this exhibit are visual or kinesthetic learners. As such, their learning strengths do not lie in the straight verbal arena in which most classrooms operate. Yet when given concrete visual tools, they are able to excel as writers. Many children participating in this exhibit are also second language learners whose literacy learning is further complicated by dual language issues. Whether second language learners or children with diverse learning styles, these students have all produced exceptional pieces of writing by creating concrete images first from which they access rich language. Pictures, after all, provide a universal language, one that transcends the conventions of the written word. To find out about bringing this exhibit to your school or entering students' work for display, contact Liz at eja@cisunix.unh.edu or call 603-862-3691. This exhibit was created through the generous funding of the DuPont Corporation.
