Why is developing visual literacy important in the middle grades? How would you assist your students in developing visual literacy within the context of an integrated unit?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Students need to develop visual literacy because both reading and writing involve visual processing. Readers create images as they read, while writers produce images to express their ideas. Teachers can assist students in developing visual literacy by identifying components of visual literacy, developing strategies to interpret images, connecting images to aspects of text, and creating their own images.
