Teaching With Visual Symbols


       It is used by the teachers for their students inorder to have a better understanding. This is because visual symbols are more understood than words. In  single drawing or illustration, it may express many words. This will help the teacher to have a lively lesson and every lesson, the teaching will be crispy and fresh. Students will be more interactive during your lesson, thus having a life-long learning. Examples of visual symbols are the following:

  a. Drawings- it represents a Real thing. In drawing, your students can express themselves well.

  b.Cartoons- It would be best to, present a cartoon drawing in a class to engage learner in more enjoyable learning. It tells its story metaphorically. It will help to improve learner's ceative thinking for they will interpret what they've seen.
  c. Strip drawings- commonly called comics strip. Learner will find it more entertaining and enjoyable.
   d.Diagrams- Learners will understand better a topic if presents in diagram specially its relationship.
    e. Charts- is a diagrammatic representation of relationships among individuals within an organization.
   f. Graphs-  there are several types of graphs:
