Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: B2.2.7.2.5 - Use visualisation strategy (form mental images about texts) to enhance understanding of level-appropriate texts

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Explain what visualisation means in their own words (forming pictures in the mind while reading).
Listen to a short descriptive text and describe the mental images they formed from it.
Read a level-appropriate passage and draw or verbally describe at least two mental images they created from the text.
Answer simple questions that connect their mental images to details in the text (for example, “What in the story made you see that picture?”).
Work with a partner to share and compare the mental images each person formed from the same text, recognising that different readers may picture things differently.
