Visualizing

I love teaching visualizing. There are so many great lessons that I do every year that the kids love.  This year I made a new lesson to test out in my class. I think it went pretty well!

We read the My Ice Cream Cone poem and highlighted the words or phrases that helped us create a mental image.  Then the students used their highlighted notes to create their mental images.  We compared our mental images and discussed how they were the same or different and why that might be.

We also discussed which words were the most helpful to help us visualize.  The class completed this cut and sort page of helpful/not helpful words.
