Today at school, we began a week long "learning through literature" celebration using Laura Numeroff's "If You take a Mouse to the Movies." I have already shared this unit with you, but I wanted to share what we did today to help understand visualization. Being able to visualize or create a mental picture during reading can be a powerful way for students to gain comprehension.We talked about how you can be the "producer" of any "movie" you read. As I was reading the story today, I refrained from showing the pictures. The kids closed their eyes to try to get a picture, and then drew what they saw in their mind's camera. A little later, the kids had the opportunity to take some kids sized clapboards and tell parts of the story in small groups. I could see the kids visualizing the parts first before they verbalized! Great job, Kiddos!!I only had time to snap a couple of pics myself, as the kids were "filming."
