VISUAL LEARNING: THE FUN WAY WITH THUMB CHARTS

[continue from the Last Post]

The Thumbnail Chart below, has the drawings from the previous post, made more elaborate for when you have completed researching your notes for each box.

Stay playful... especially if you have to learn stuff that is serious!

You can enlarge such charts to create Learning Posters!



Clues to get started with research notes: We know we need to eat a minimum of 5 servings of fruit and vegetables everyday. To prevent cancer, 8 to 13 servings per day are recommended. A serving is one cup of raw fruits or vegetables, or ½ cup cooked.

Each colour found in fruits and vegetables focuses on building the immune system in its own way.

Before reading further, can you give examples of fruits and vegetables in various colours?

Some suggestions for the fruits & vegetables colour quiz above:

Green Foods – broccoli, kale, leaf and romaine lettuce, spinach, cabbage and Brussels sprouts;
