Semiotic Representations
Literacy has been defined as the ability to read and write but researchers have found that students today need experiences to build or connect meaning across sign systems that are called semiotic representations. As teachers, we must now consider integrating the arts, drama, and even movement into our English Language Arts instruction. However, in order for teachers to teach this way, they must first believe that sign systems are essential in developing good readers and also writers.

I believe sign systems are important as well as integration but every time I think about trying to organize something new I think, "Im just going to have to change it to align with the common core next year". For example I was trying to set my worksheets up by which standard they addressed and then I remember I was going to have to relabel it all next year.
