Learn With Mrs G - Viewing- Feast

Lesson Three | Elements of Visual Literacy

Lesson Four | Main Idea and Supporting Detail

YEAR LEVEL DESCRIPTION- Students engage with a variety of texts for enjoyment. They listen to, read, view and interpret spoken, written and multimodal texts in which the primary purpose is to entertain, as well as texts designed to inform and persuade. These encompass traditional oral texts, picture books, various types of print and digital stories, simple chapter books, rhyming verse, poetry, non-fiction, film, multimodal texts, dramatic performances and texts used by students as models for constructing their own work.

They identify literal and implied meaning, main ideas and supporting detail. Students make connections between texts by comparing content. They explain their preferences for aspects of texts using other texts as comparisons.

Content Descriptors:

Discuss the characters and settings of different texts and explore how language is used to present these features in different ways (ACELT1591)

Visual Literacy

Visual literacy is the ability to read, write and create visual images.
It is about language, communication and interaction.

Visual literacy refers to the ability to successfully interpret and use images.

Do you think we were using visual literacy when looking at the photograph?

Why?

People who create visuals use many elements
to make the reader think or feel a certain way.

We will look at the colour whilst watching Feast.
Because Feast is an animation we will also listen to the sound.
