Visual Literacy Grade 7 Team Presentation

2 What is Visual Literacy to us?
The grade 7 team focused on Visual Literacy being not only the ability to create pieces of work, but also have the ability to understand and interpret visual texts as well. To help facilitate their visual literacy, we decided we would use cartoons. They are fun, engaging, and informative!

Giving students a visual like a cartoon will help them remember a topic being discussed and learnt about. “Hey Remember about that cartoon with Leonardo da Vinci taking the Original Selfie” or “Oh ya! Henry Hudson was kicked off his boat with his son in the Hudson's Bay” Cartoons can incorporate modern ideas with figures from the past. Helping students make connections with figures that are long deceased who lived in a different time.

5 Cartoons for Understanding
Cartoons can simplify concepts that may previously been considered difficult by using visuals for assistance. This cartoon helps show the concept Mercantilism in New France. It acts like a pictorial flow chart.

6 Cartoons for Application
This is the step where those higher students can get a little “hands on” Students can take in what they have learnt and use it to create a cartoon to demonstrate their understanding. Here, Students would complete the cartoon. Apply their knowledge to create their own slide of the cartoon. Lead Discussions relating to reading strategies
