What is text?

To me text is an expression of one’s self. Text can be used to say something meaningful, make someone feel safe, or give a description. In my classroom I hope my kids feel free to express how their feeling in words and in different types of ways. They could expressive themselves in different words, fonts, sizes, or styles. The pictures I used are examples of text because the first picture is a description of a building to show why it is meaningful to Charleston. The second picture is a sticker with text used to express concern about drug use in the community. The third picture is simple an emergency sign in white wording on an orange background in bold lettering. That is an example of text because it uses different styles to express the meaning of the word by how it is presented. My last picture is a flag with the word welcome. It is text in my opinion because it expresses a sense of warmth to the people they want to come in.
