Weebly...what?
We are surrounded by visual texts from birth.
It is important that students (okay, everyone) can interpret, or READ, these images.
Visual texts convey some information more clearly than verbal texts
(making connections, emphasizing important ideas)
.
Many informational texts use visual elements
(graphs, charts, diagrams)
.
Visual literacy interacts with all subject matters. It is not a skill that can be learned overnight, but something that can be applied to many parts of our lives in many different ways.
