4. 10/7/10 Visualization T Chart "Growing Together"
 * Begin this today, finish it tomorrow. Don't assign it as homework.
 * Remind students of the value of visualizing while reading: increases comprehension and memory of what you read (it's easier to understand and remember a picture vs. words--just think of those great IKEA directions!).
 * On one side of the T chart, students write the details, on the other side students draw pictures to symbolize the details. Lead students through this process.
 * Focus on the details and write them down.
 * Imagine what it looks like.
 * Draw a quick picture.
 * One visualization per page of the story.
