Visualizing and Verbalizing Video and Analysis
Instructions:
1. Identify a child or adult who is willing to let you teach them one of Nanci Bell’s lessons from
Visualizing and Verbalizing and who is willing to answer some questions about it afterward.
2. Select a step of the Visualizing and Verbalizing program that is appropriate for your “student”.
3. Prepare the lesson by reading through the instructions, visualizing how you will approach the
lesson, and getting the materials ready.
4. Prepare a quiet space with technology for videotaping your lesson.
5. Teach and videotape the lesson.
6. At the end of the lesson, ask your student for feedback about the experience. Prompt the student
to provide feedback on specific parts of the lesson; in what ways it seemed as though it would be
beneficial or not beneficial for a student who had difficulty with visualization; and what parts
were fun, boring, frustrating, or something else.
7. Record the information in the format below paying special attention to the fourth section,
reflecting on your learning and thoughts on future instruction.
