This document provides guidance for visual intelligence activities for students. It includes two proposed activities: 1) a map directions activity done in pairs where students take turns giving and following directions to locations on a map, focusing on language for directions. 2) A pictogram solving activity done in small groups within a time limit where students decode words from pictograms using numbers and punctuation that alter the letters. The document provides guidelines for conducting both activities and focuses them on developing reading, writing, speaking, and linguistic skills.

7. GUIDELINE:
1. Procedure:
• Remind students to write down the words corresponding to each
image.
