    This chapter considers understandings of student diversity as articulated in the Australian Curriculum documents, designs of meaning for written and visual text, and the different sorts of pedagogy we introduced for different stages of a multiliteracies project.

I conclude by highlighting the usefulness of a wide, but not vague, multiliteracies approach, and the importance of developing an explicit grammar for written and visual text for meeting the literacy learning needs of diverse student groups as they study English and History.
