Presents basic working principles and a vocabulary of semiotics for classroom teachers; interprets semiotically a story from the teaching of "Romeo and Juliet" that reveals the literary and nonliterary texts of students' lives; and demonstrates semiotic approaches to two texts that illustrate how to locate literature in the context of the culture beyond the classroom.
