Specifically, I examine three students’ works, noting how the use of multiple symbol systems helped each to compose strong visual and written texts. In studying the work the students composed, I conclude that visual art and poetry make fine partners in intellectual endeavors aimed at educating the imagination.</p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={LEARNing Landscapes}, author={Reilly, Mary Ann}, year={2009}, month={Mar.}, pages={69-87} }
