RATHER THAN BEMOANING BOYS' FASCINATION WITH MOVIES AND VIDEO GAMES, TEACHERS CAN USE THESE VISUALLY MEDIATED NARRATIVES TO ENGAGE RELUCTANT READERS AND WRITERS.

AN OBSERVATION

EDUCATORS WHO GREW UP WITH LESS TECHNOLOGICALLY COMPLEX MEDIA MAY BE TEMPTED TO DISMISS OUR CHILDREN'S AND OUR STUDENTS' MEDIA AFFILIATIONS, CONTRASTING THEM WITH WHAT THEY REMEMBER AS FAR MORE WHOLESOME LITERACIES OF THEIR OWN CHILDHOODS.

Although comic books or cartoons are often considered subliterature and hardly appropriate for schools, these genres make an interesting bargain with young readers.

As students get older, new multimedia genres of digital storytelling such as video literature can sustain their interest in reading.

To stay on literacy train, challenged readers need access to cartoons, comics, graphic novels, and picture books.

Texts supported by pictures are far more appealing.

Visual media available today are more complex than in previous eras and actually make students smarter.

Fantasies of power, escape, resistance, aggression, and fear are authentic human expressions.

For schools to effectively teach literacy, they should work with, and not against, the cultural tools that students bring to school.

Cutting literacy learning off from students' media immersed lives makes school an alien and unappealing place.

Teachers should tap into the cultural, artistic, and linguistic resources that exist to improve literacy instructions for boys.

The Barter System

What is meant by the term 'barter'?

Barter is the direct exchange of goods and services without the use of money.

The barter system first existed in a money-less economy and so it is called a money-less transaction.

The barter system has certain advantages and disadvantages. We will now begin to explore these.

ADVANTAGES OF THE BARTER SYSTEM

1.People could get what they didnot have or could not produce.

2.Exchange could take place without the use of money.

DISADVANTAGES OF THE BARTER SYSTEM

2.Lack of storage facilities lead to spoilage.
