This week we learned about visualizing and how to create a mental picture using description.

Visualizing is to make a mental picture based on a description or text you have written about.

First, we had to discuss with our partner what visualizing is/mean. Visualizing is to make a mental picture based on a description or text you have written about.

Next, we had to make a copy of a document and write down a story for a partner to draw. We had to use adjective to help us describe the piece of work. For example: Olivia was so excited to visit Samoa. My partner will draw a girl being excited, and a land that looks like Samoa.

Lastly, my partner (Cattaleya) had to make a copy of a google draw that talks about the 4 different type of visualizing which are what can be seen, heard, felt, smelt (smell), or tasted. For example: If the story says, ” I can see trees”. The visualizing will be seen because it says you can see trees which belongs to the see section.

I enjoyed doing this task. I did well at explaning what visualizing is. I need to improve on adding more details onto the google draw.

After, we had to compare our piece of work to someone else so we can share and see each other’s drawing that compares to the story.
