Before continuing this learning activity, you should read the following information :
VISUAL LITERACY
Visual (image) that accompany a reading can help clarify the purpose of the reading
content. In addition, pictures also able translate information that cannot be convey
with words.
a. In the Preliminary Activity presented 4 different steps of announcements. Of the 4
announcements, you as a reader will certainly be faster and easier to guess the
contents of the second announcements, because the second announcement is
accompanied by a picture.
b. In the example of the announcement about “kick-off party”, the author presents
several pictures of animals that present the spirit/message brought by the event. The
picture/illustrations given certainly make you as reader more easily imagine the
spirit/message intended by the author.

In visual literacy we expect to be able to utilize existing visuals to explore and

imagine the contents of the reading that is read in order to have more
understanding about reading the button line. Imagine what you read!
