Developing Critical Multimodal Literacy in Secondary School Students.

This chapter discusses the results of a project aimed at enhancing critical multimodal literacy in Italian secondary school students. The activities described are part of a larger project called MACHETE (Multiliteracy Advances and Challenges in Hypermedia English Teaching Environments – see Vasta’s paper, this volume) and were conducted in a secondary school in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region under the author’s supervision, after discussing texts and methods with the other project members. The project is a follow-up to a previous one conducted with primary school students (Vasta and Trevisan 2017).
