https://www.colorincolorado.org/article/visual-thinking-strategies-improved-comprehensionThe website gives a brief and definition of Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) and states that it is a way to tap into students’ background knowledge. This method can be used effectively as a precursor to working on a literary passage because the thinking skilled used to analyze artwork can be transferred to literature. I found this site beneficial because it focuses on literature and writing, which are subjects that are more difficult for me to connect to VTS.
I think this website gives a great example of what VTS looks like. I also gives a step-by-step method to implementing it in the classroom. The step-by-step method is helpful when you are new at doing something.
