English Language Arts – Curricular competencies: Comprehend and Connect – reading, listening, viewing: grade four
Learning Objective – Access and integrate information and ideas from a variety of sources and from prior knowledge to build understanding
Type of Educational Graphic: Organizational: convey structure or sequence, hierarchical, sequential
Principles:
- The principle of coherence where extraneous words and pictures are eliminated and important information I want the students to focus on is highlighted. Specific parts of the Cairns body are highlighted with a number and then information is presented describing the important anatomy – a principle known as signaling. Key terms are in bold under the image and information is highlighted to describe the body part.
Actions:
- Contrasting colours used to make text stand out
Tools:
- Simple graphic with contrasting text colour to highlight specific body parts
- Bold face title
- Bold-face headings to describe important terms
Hi Nicole,
Well done, good use of text labels for the picture, I have to admit i don’t have good aesthetic sense to draw diagram or take picture. I never take pictures because I believe pictures remind me of the past and I have no time to live in the past. I want to live in present and future. Anyway good luck.
Regards,
Usman
Hi Nicole,
This is a good example of an educational graphic. I think you could play with the font colour of your labels to see if they can stand out better. You could also consider having the labels outside of the body of the Cairn Terrier with lines leading the the point described. It’s a matter of degrees of success. The actual image is a good one for this use – often a diagram works better than a photo for elementary descriptions.
