Better Lesson: Visual Representations in Informational Text

Curated by ACT

Students will look at examples of illustrations and diagrams in informational texts and discuss how each one helps enhance the text. Students gain the knowledge that sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words because a complex idea can be explained with just a single image. Included are printable handouts, videos of student work, and rubrics for assessment.
