Common Core Learning Standards & Assessments - ELA
Visual Literacy in the Common Core Elementary Classroom Description: With the click of a button, students can access infinite amounts of information…and much of it is not the written word. So much is communicated visually today, but how do we help students become visually literate? Join us for a day of exploring multimodal literacies- charts, photographs, art, television, movies, video, etc. and discussing strategies to help students decipher the messages in these visual images. Providing students with the power to interpret these visuals will lead them to a greater understanding of the text. Participants will walk away equipped with tools to promote the successful reading of images which in turn, will increase comprehension and critical thought.
