I really like how you found a way to integrate visual learning that isn't just "one lesson," but something ongoing!  You shared how the New York Times posts a new picture each day and students could practice their visual literacy.  As we learned in the articles from this section, visual literacy is like reading, it is something that has to be practiced for those skills to become stronger.

Even if you didn't use this exact resource from the New York times, I could see how you could easily adapt this to your own classroom. It would work to find a new piece of artwork to look at each day.  Different activities could be used for practicing visual literacy, including whole group discussion, a writing assignment where students use the picture as a starting point to write a "story," and many more ideas.  It would be easy to adapt to just 10-15 minutes a day! Great ideas!
