Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en" id="trtr1360-abs-0001"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Children and their teacher participated in a project that explored the question of how engaging in transmediation after hearing a story might affect children's meaning construction. In this article we share our work with a teacher and her third graders as they were challenged to move from the traditional activity of drawing a picture about a story to drawing a picture that symbolized the underlying meaning of a story.</p> </abstract>
