Description
In this ReadWriteThink lesson, students create mental images while reading using a three-pronged approach. The first approach develops schemata and visual awareness. The next approach, called Watch-Read-Watch-Read (W-R-W-R), uses video clips to build background knowledge and assist students in developing "memory pegs" as they read. Finally, students use a strategy similar to the think-aloud approach, creating drawings to illustrate and understand relevant information gleaned from print.
