Visual literacy is an important skill in relation to learning in geography. The opportunities provided by visual images in the geography classroom are not always fully exploited by teachers to enhance geographical knowledge, understanding and skill development. This is also the case with many textbooks, where images are sometimes used merely to break up text and are not used to their potential through accompanying tasks. This article explores a variety of 'active strategies' that can be used to promote learning in geography. Many of the activities require the pupils to ask the questions, thus providing them with an increased sense of ownership of their work and enabling them to construct their 'own' geographical knowledge with the support of the teacher. The strategies also explore the values and attitudes held by pupils towards distant places and the people within these places. It is important to explore these if we are to work towards breaking down prejudices and challenging stereotypes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
