- 7. What do you remember about the image?
- 9. Most museum art is seen for only 30 seconds per piece—too little time for true memory. We must guide our students through a careful step-by-step process of self discovery if they are to really see and remember visual content. Preview

- 30. Visual Discovery: Step One Arrange your classroom so projected images will be large and clear. Lower el Upper el Upper el and secondary
- 31. Visual Discovery: Step Two Use a few powerful images to teach key social studies concepts.
- 32. Which of these images would be most effective to teach your students about Martin Luther King, Jr. and his efforts to help all people be treated equally? A B C D Marvin Koner/Corbis Bettmann/Corbis Bettmann/Corbis Flip Schulke/Corbis

- 38. Visual Discovery: Step Three Use a “detective analogy” to create spiral questions that will help your students better analyze and interpret visuals. Ask carefully sequenced questions that lead to discovery.
- 39. Ask students to find details or “evidence” that they can actually touch in the image. • What do you see in this image? • Describe the location. • What are the people carrying? Level 1: Gathering Evidence
- 40. Visual Discovery: Five Steps to Implementation Challenge students to make inferences about the evidence. What do these people appear to be doing? What do some of the slogans say? Level 2: Interpreting Evidence
- 41. Challenge students to hypothesize about what is happening and why. Considering the slogans, what can you tell about what these people hope to accomplish with their actions? Level 3: Making Hypotheses from Evidence
- 42. Challenge students to read about the image and apply what they learn. Visual Discovery: Step Four
- 43. Have students interact with the images to demonstrate what they have learned. Visual Discovery: Step Five
- 44. Visual Discovery: Five Steps 1. Arrange your classroom so projected images will be large and clear. 2. Use a few powerful images to teach key social studies concepts. 3. Ask carefully sequenced questions that lead to discovery. 4. Challenge students to read about the image and apply what they learn. 5. Have students interact with the images to demonstrate what they have learned.
- 45. Wrap-up 1. What questions or concerns do you have about using Visual Discovery? 2. How would Visual Discovery help your students learn and remember key content?
Editor's Notes
- HOOK
- Go ahead and just say what you remember. Don’t worry about raising your hand.
- We think of our students as being visual. They play video games, watch tv, videos, etc. But are they truly visually literate?Visual Discovery is about slowing down the image barrage and allowing students to extract key information in a process carefully guided by you, the teacher.Visual Discovery is a great strategy to begin with if you’re new to the TCI Approach. It’s relatively low risk and allows you as a teacher to control the content.Now we’re going to try a Visual Discovery. I want you all to take off your teacher hat and put on your student hat. Your well behaved student hat, of course. Approach the lesson from a learner’s perspective.
- For the lesson, we’re going to use TCI’s teaching technology, TeachTCI. Since I as the teacher know that I will be doing a Visual Discovery today, I would have arranged my room appropriately. Students would move their desks or sit on the floor where they can see the image. I would also make sure that the image is projected as large as I possibly can.
- After students have analyzed the image and carefully read information, they will participate in an act it out. Since we’re all in different locations, we don’t have the ability to do that today so let’s talk through what students would do.They would be placed into groups and assigned a character in the image. Together with their group members they would prepare to act out their character’s role in the scene.
- The teacher would then project the image and let the students perform their act it out. It’s important that the image be as large as possible so that students can “step into it.”
- This is Jamestown. The students would follow the same process for this settlement.
- And for the Plymouth settlement.
- Finally, students would complete a processing activity in which they design a real estate ad for one of the colonies.I’ll pause here and allow you time to jot down questions you might have.
- We promised you Visual Discovery in five easy steps so let’s begin to talk about them.Now that you’ve done an immersion and had a chance to experience a Visual Discovery, I’ll be asking you to tell me where you saw each of these steps in your own experience during the immersion.
