Visualization
Learning Goal: We are learning how to create pictures in our mind to help us better understand the story and so we can make better connections.
Hint: It is like making a movie in your BRAIN!
Good readers use their five senses to make picture in their head.
I can see... I can hear...
I can smell... I can taste...
I can feel... I can imagine...
We read the book, "Bad Case of Stripes" by David Shannon.
Camilla Cream had a bad case
of stripes that looked like a rainbow.
Because I know what a rainbow looks
like I can picture what Camilla looks like
as a rainbow.
