Literacy Moves Chapter 1-5

I like the idea of using multimodal texts. I think using a combination of writing, images, and possibly sound can make the meaning more rich for students, or just hold their attention better. Allowing the students to respond to readings using their own multimodal ways of doing so is also great. I thought about the "sketch-to-stretch" concept that seems to be introduced in most of these reading/writing courses. Additionally, the chapter about moving stories was interesting. The concept it great. However, as future teachers we are constantly taught ways to incorporate technology in the classroom and encouraged to do so. The reality is that there are lots of schools that just do not have such means of doing stuff like this. I think it is possible to have the students create "frames" or a movie type thing through paper and drawing tools just as easily. Finally, the idea of incorporating types of literacy that are used everyday, such as signs, billboard sayings, newspapers, etc. seems like a good one. My question though is what are some ways to work with these "everyday texts" to help promote literacy and/or meet curriculum or state standards?
