Talk:Reading-strategies Discussion/@comment-28518194-20160524054244

When I was a student, I spent time watching and analyzing films for a high school history class that I was taking. At the time, I was not thinking that I was practicing visual literacy. I was taking what I was seeing and “reading” into the visual components that I saw on the screen. I think that visual literacy is just as important as written and oral literacy, which are mainstays in the current education system. I try to provide the students in my classes something to interpret visually, so that they can practice visual literacy in addition to the writing assignments and oral presentations that the students are expected to do.
