Visualising
Learners create a mental image from a text read/viewed/heard. Visualising brings the text to life, engages the imagination and uses all of the five senses.
Example questions/statements
Ask sensory questions such as:
What are the pictures you have in your head as you read/view/ listen to this text?
Can you describe the picture or image you made while you read/ heard that part?
How did the pictures in your head help you to understand the text?
Example teaching idea
Sketch to stretch: As a passage/story is read students sketch their visualisation. In groups they share their sketches and discuss reasons for their interpretation.
