Visualise Paradise
This whole class visualising activity is a great way for students to see that their visualisations can change as they are given more detail from the author, in combination with their prior knowledge.
Read the text to your class, one section at a time. Print and slice the response sheets so that students cannot read ahead. You may choose to display student responses with an enlarged copy of the text.
Learning goals
