Visual+Literarcy

=Visual Literacy=

Our modern world has become a very visual place. Everyday we are asked to understand, interpret, and create visual information. It is important that today's students are visually literate in order to be able to interpret content of visual messages as well as text. This learned ability to understand, analyze, interpret, and create visual information is considered visual literacy. For this artifact I have sought to instruct students on how to interpret visual media. I feel this lesson would work well at the beginning of a school semester. If this lesson is presented to students prior to their interaction in the classroom with visual media, I feel they will have a greater understanding and a greater ability to analyze the visual messages presented.
