Teaching with Visual Symbols

1. TEACHING WITH
VISUAL SYMBOL

drawings, cartoons, strip
drawings, diagrams, formulas,
charts, graphs, maps, globes.

the real thing but better to
have a concrete visual aid
than nothing. To avoid
confusion, it is good that our

symbolism. The symbolism conveys
the message.
