This document discusses integrating visual literacy into classroom lessons. It provides examples of subjects that can incorporate visuals, such as art, drama, foreign language, and math. The document then outlines a specific lesson on integrating visual arts into a math lesson about nouns for 6-7 year olds. The lesson objectives are to help students identify nouns and their types using visuals. Students will watch a video with pictures defining nouns and then draw or paint examples. The lesson also discusses decoding images by having students interpret a poster, and encoding by having them create an anti-littering poster.
