Most museum art is seen for only
30 seconds per piece—too little
time for true memory.
We must guide our students
through a careful step-by-step
process of self discovery if they
are to really see and remember
visual content.

Visual Discovery: Step Three
Use a “detective analogy” to create spiral questions that will help your students better analyze and interpret visuals.
Ask carefully sequenced questions that lead to discovery.
Ask students to find details or “evidence” that they can actually touch in the image.• What do you see in this image?• Describe the location.• What are the people carrying?
Level 1: Gathering Evidence
Visual Discovery: Five Steps to Implementation
Challenge students to make inferences about the evidence.
What do these people appear to be doing?
What do some of the slogans say?
Level 2: Interpreting Evidence
Challenge students to hypothesize about what is happening and why.
Considering the slogans, what can you tell about what these people hope to accomplish with their actions?
Level 3: Making Hypotheses from Evidence
Have students interact with the images to demonstrate what they have learned.
Visual Discovery: Step Five
Visual Discovery: Five Steps
1. Arrange your classroom so projected images will be large and clear.
2. Use a few powerful images to teach key social studies concepts.
3. Ask carefully sequenced questions that lead to discovery.
4. Challenge students to read about the image and apply what they learn.
5. Have students interact with the images to demonstrate what they have learned.
