I See What You Mean: Children at Work with Visual Information by Steve Moline

What a great resource for any teacher at any grade level in any content area. The book is very teacher-friendly and will be a resource for useful and practical ideas to incorporate into a curriculum. The examples are wonderful, and made me see how easily adaptable these strategies would be in a classroom. A few of the strategies I particularly like are the Making a Model Town, the Flow Diagrams and How-To’s, and the Timelines. The how-to’s and timelines are things that I remember doing in school, that were purely writing activities. It’s interesting to see how education has transformed these tasks to make them meaningful for a wider range of students.
