Visualising Clue Cards
This is a fun activity that can be used as a whole class warm-up activity or as a literacy task. Students will learn about the importance of collecting all of the clues in the text in order to create an accurate visualisation. As they are only given 1 clue at a time, students will realise how extra information helps to change their visualisation.
Use the coloured cards as a whole class warm up activity with whiteboards or print the black and white cards to use with the worksheet.
Students work with a partner. As 1 person reads each clue, the partner draws their visualisation on the sheet. Paste the clue card into the final box.
