* Teaching with Visual

Symbols(drawings,cartoons,strip

drawings, diagrams, charts, graphs, and

maps)

“Visual symbols will be made meaningful if we can use them as summaries of our own direct experiences of our rich indirect experiences…. A little can Stand for a lot!”

Base on your experience which was easier to understand.The word or the map?

One essential skill that a teacher ought to possess in order to be understood is Drawing. It helps you a lot if you are capable of doing simple freehand sketching.

oDrawings

Stick Drawing

oCartoonsAnother useful visual

o CHARTSA chart is a diagrammatic

representation of relationships among individuals with an organization. We have a:1.Time chart2.Tree or stream chart3. Flow chart4. Organizational chart5. Comparison and contrast chart6. Pareto chart7. Run chart or trend chart

oOrganizational Chart

Shows how one part of the organization relates to other parts of the organization.

Comparison and Contrast chart

oPareto chartIs a type of bar

chart, prioritized in descending order of

magnitude or importance from left to right. It shows

at a glance which factor are occurring most.

oGannt chartIs an activity time chart.

oGraphsThere are several types of graphs. They are:

1. Circle or pie graph2. Bar graph3. Pictorial graph4. Line graph

Bar graph-use in comparing the magnitude of similar items at different ties or seeing relative sizes of the parts of a whole.

Pictorial graph-make use of picture symbols.

oMaps is a “representation of the surface of the earth or some part of it..”

Physical Map- combines in a single projection data like altitude, temperature, rainfall, precipitation, vegetation and soil.

Relief Map-has three dimensional representations and show contours of the physical data of the earth or part of the earth

Commercial or Economic Map- also called product or industrial map since they show land areas in relation to the economy.

Political Map-gives detailed information about country, provinces, cities, and towns, roads and highways. Oceans, rivers and lakes are the main features of most political maps.

Map Language Scale – show how much of

actual earth’s surface is represented by a given measurement on a map. The scale must be shown so that the map reader can use the distances and areas shown on the map in measuring or figuring out the real distances and areas on the earth surface. On some maps, scales is shown graphically in others the scales is expressed in words and figures.

Symbols – usually a map has a legend that explain what each symbol mean

Color – the different color of the map are the part of the map language. What colors represent the bodies of water? What about contours of the earth and rail road, highway and other cultural features

Geographic grids – the entire system of these grids lines are called gridlines. These grid lines are called meridians and parallel. A meridian is north to south poles line. Parallel are lines drawn around a globe with all points along each lines with an equal distance from the pole. Longitude is the distance in degrees of any place east or west of the prime meridian. Latitude is the distance in degrees of any place north and south of equator.

Making the Connection1.Go over our past lessons in this

course Ed.tech1. look for visual symbol that you used in the past lesson. Identify them.

2.In your lesson on correlation in statistics, you came across a scatter diagram. Go over a sample of a scatter diagram. Is this also a visual symbol? What does a scatter diagram show?

3.Under which kind of visual symbol do the life cycle that you study in science belong?
