Visualizing

Today we started learning about how readers make mental images using their schema when they read.  We listened to the Visualizing song.


 

Then, I read aloud the book Bedhead by Margi Palatini. As I was reading, students drew their mental images. After the story was finished, students found a partner and shared their drawings. Then, students adjusted their pictures. To finish the lesson we discussed why all of our pictures were different.... we all have different SCHEMA!
