Today I piggybacked off a 1st grade classroom lesson on visualizing. Teachers in the 1st grade are having students visualizing during their reading lessons. Today in my Media class, we worked on this as well. First graders are just beginning a unit on David Shannon and his hilarious books. First, I had students lay on the floor and listen to me read Alice the Fairy without looking at the pictures. While I was reading, students visualized the story. Next, they went back to their desk to draw something they "saw" while I read. Lastly, we came back to read Alice the Fairy one more time to see if what they visualized was what actually happened in the book. This is a fun book to use this strategy with because without looking at the pictures, David Shannon really makes the reader think the story is about a real fairy.
