[ISLMA-Share] Visual literacy

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

This is Not My Hat by Jon Klassen is a fantastic read aloud for visual literacy (and inferencing and POV) because the pictures and the words tell different stories.

I’ve actually read it to middle schoolers to teach these things and it works really well.  I usually stop after reading the text and ask questions about it, like after the text “And he’ll never figure out it’s me,”  I’ll ask “Did he figure it out?   How do you know?”  and they’ll respond with observations about the illustrations, culminating with “What happened?” and “How do you know?” after the text ends.

I'm looking for visual literacy lesson ideas for primary/elementary students. What has worked with your students?
