The last four weeks, students have been learning about visual literacy. We revisited how advertising using images to create various emotions to persuade you to buy their products. We analysed images and illustrations in various short stories, children and adult books, graphic novels, including the book ‘The Arrival’ by Shaun Tan which is a visual feast – no words.  

We discussed and analysed the various visual techniques used in books and their effectiveness to value add to the story, culminating on them producing their own visual narrative story.

I am so proud of how everyone in the class engaged with this learning. They all produced wonderful stories, which we read to the Prep/1 class.
