This instructional strategy is an excellent way for students to create visual images of the text they are listening to. Students learn how to create meaning from the words they hear and develop an illustration that matches their interpretation of the text. This is a great way for students to actively read or listen to poetry because of the descriptive and figurative language used in poetry. Students are more engaged in the text because they are focused on creating the image. It is a relaxing and fun way to enjoy reading!
