The texts that students interact with have rapidly expanded from the days when the only definition of a text was a print-based book or magazine. While students interact with a range of print, visual, and sound texts, they do not always recognize that these many documents are texts. By creating an inventory of personal texts, students begin to consciously recognize the many literacy demands in contemporary society. With this start, they create a working definition of literacy that they refine and explore as they continue their investigation of the texts that they interact with at home, at school, and in other settings.

Now you can create your own sign generator! Just find (take your own with a digital camera, maybe a DVD still image grab, search graphics sites, take a pic from TV, etc) an image of a sign or a photo where there is a clearable area to place text. Use GIMP (best freeware photo editor) to clear out the text area (if there is text already in the way) and then import it to this site to manipulate the text with hundreds of fonts, also make sure the image size does not exceed 650 pixels (height or width). You can even use a photograph of yourself (use free hosting so you have a web URL to use) or loved ones and add comic book styled bubbles (sample) where you can change the text characters to suit your needs (captionize your photographs), you can literally turn any image or clipart into a sign generator!
