What this lesson teaches

You can record yourself reading a story or poem and add pictures or charts to make certain parts stand out.

Worked examples

Example 1

You record a poem about the sea and hold up a drawing of a wave when you read the line about waves crashing.

Example 2

You record your report and play it back, then add a chart on screen at the moment you say the numbers.

Example 3

A visual should arrive when you talk about it, not five sentences earlier. Otherwise people read ahead instead of listening.

Practice questions

  1. Read a short poem aloud as if recording it.
  2. Choose one picture that fits your reading.
  3. Explain how a visual makes a part clearer or more fun.

Grabar y Mostrar Tu Trabajo

Puedes grabarte leyendo un cuento o poema y agregar imágenes o gráficas para que ciertas partes resalten.

Ejemplo 1: Grabas un poema sobre el mar y muestras un dibujo de una ola cuando lees la línea sobre las olas rompiendo.

Ejemplo 2: Grabas tu reporte, lo escuchas y luego agregas una gráfica en pantalla justo cuando dices los números.

Ejemplo 3: Un apoyo visual debe llegar cuando hablas de él, no cinco oraciones antes. Si no, la gente lee adelantada en vez de escuchar.
