This is the first volume to explore the potential of kamishibai as a dynamic \"new\" interactive medium for teaching multimodal communication and shows how synchronizing oral, visual and gestural modes develops students' awareness of all modes of communication as potential resources in their learning. By examining the multiple modes involved in kamishibai through actual student performances over several venues, this volume overturns commonly held expectations about literacy in the classroom and provides a critical perspective on assumptions about other media. It offers much-needed information about a medium that is attracting interest from educators, academics and artists worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tara McGowan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138851515\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138851511\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/10\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Tara McGowan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065377468671,"sku":"9781138851511","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_48f7eef4-d58e-475c-8c5d-8d68096aa819.jpg?v=1768674787","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/performing-kamishibai-tara-mcgowan-9781138851511","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
