Visual Learning
Give students worksheet 1 and have them turn to the graphics on page 15. Explain how visual information on charts can help them learn more about the topic. Guide them to answer the first couple of questions, and then have them complete the worksheet independently. When they have completed the questions, have them share their answers. If they have difficulty with any question or have recorded a wrong answer, go back to the book and show them how to find the correct answer.
