3. Notes 9/16/10 Visualize, page 11
 * Students keep notes, Cornell Style.
 * Visualization:
 * In order to show students that visualization happens in the mind's eye, tell students to describe something (a car, a pencil, a face) while you draw it on the board.
 * Does the picture on the board look like the picture in your mind?
 * Good writing makes pictures with words.
 * Use details in writing to make pictures in your brain while you read.
 * This is why we use sensory details when we describe an event: the sensory details help other people Visualize our stories.

 * Give students synonyms for some of their scanned vocabulary (or have students think of their own synonyms in L1)
