Today Ms Coulthard taught a lesson about visualisation. Students are learning about how reading can stimulate all 5 senses when creating an image.

We began the lesson by reading a passage from Charlottes Web.

After Ms Coulthard read this passage to the class we brainstormed together what senses we could use to make a picture in our heads of what is occurring in the story. We looked at and highlighted the key words that helped us create these pictures in our heads.

Next we worked together in small groups with a passage from a book. The 3 passages were

 

We then wrote key words from the passage where each of our senses could be used for.

 

Some of us guessed straight away what books the passages were from and were able to write them in the box  in the middle.

The first passage was from

 

The second passage was from

The third passage was from

We will continue to learn more about visualization and its importance when reading next week.

 

What did learn about visualization this lesson?

Which sense or senses were the easiest to use when reading the passage and why?

Can you write a key word or phrase from one of the other passages that would match one of the 5 senses?
