My next step with this particular project is to implement it in my classroom during our Life Long
Ago and Today unit. I would also like to incorporate more visual literacy into the curriculum. It
is a great way to slow down, observe, and discuss pictures and other visual representations. I
would also like to have students create their own visual literacy creations. My district just
purchased a subscription for all students to the website Big Universe. The site contains a writing
component, where children could create their own poster or image that represents their
understanding of a concept or skill.

While revisiting this assignment and reflection, I added a new component to the lesson (shown
in blue). At the beginning of the unit, when children are asked “What do you notice about this
picture,” I now recognize the importance of making sure children accept the opinions of others.
Students’ various backgrounds may influence how they view and interpret an image. It is
important for children to recognize that others may have a different opinion or viewpoint, and
that is ok.
