What is text?

Text can be anything from books, to written music, to signs. Text can be defined as anything that conveys a set of meanings to the people who examine it. As a future educator it is important for me to allow my students to explore text and understand that there are several different definitions of text. We as humans are around different types of text everyday, I encourage the next time you go out to take pictures and see how many different types of text you can find. Below are images of text located in Charleston South Carolina.

Downtown Charleston, SC is full of historic sites! As pictured above, when walking the city’s streets one can see these historic landmark signs. This is located on the corner of Saint Phillips Street and George Street.
The College of Charleston has a tobacco-free campus. Many signs like this one are posted around the campus.
