Description
Summary:Studying the visual and written literacy of high school kids has proved interesting and has lead to a couple of interesting conclusions, as well as sparked my interest into further study and research in the field of semiotics. What I discovered is the inseparable link between word literacy and visual symbol interpretation. Inseparably connected because of the semiotic nature of symbols and their connection to written origins. I also learned that there is a significant gap in the knowledge of certain information received over the television, internet, and movies between the east coast and western United States.
