Title - Reading Power Through Visualizations
By - Marcy Winograd
Primary Subject - Language Arts
Secondary Subjects - Language Arts
Grade Level - 2-5
Standard: Students will comprehend grade-level texts.
Goal: Greater reading comprehension
Specific Objective: Students will visualize images from the text and create an oral collage.
Materials needed: core literature
Anticipatory set: If you close your eyes, can you see pictures in your mind?
Procedure: The teacher asks students to close their eyes and visualize images while s/he reads excerpts from a core literature book. When the teacher finishes reading, s/he asks students to share what images they saw. Next, the teacher asks students to visualize with their eyes open as s/he reads the text.
Then the teacher asks students to read a page silently and visualize what they are reading. Following each visualization exercise, students share their images with the rest of the class. Finally, the teacher asks students to write down their favorite line of imagery from the text. Four-five students come up to the front of the class and, while the rest of the class has its eyes closed, create an oral collage by reading their selected passages and leaving space between speakers so the class can visualize each passage.

Independent Practice: For homework students are assigned pages to read and visualize. They are to describe their visualizations in a double-entry reading journal.

Assessment: Students are assessed on whether they quoted a passage from the text and included an accompanying visualization.
