Selection Project
In our reading this week, Lohr references 3 of Mayer's seven characteristics of effective instructional visuals: concentrated, concise, and concrete. These three characteristics relate to a figure, the stimulus a learner is focusing on or paying attention to, and the ground, or what the learner is not paying attention to in a visual (102).
I found myself facing some of the typical problems experienced in trying to obtain the optimal Figure-Ground principle. Those problems are when the figure and ground compete, when the figure should be the ground and the ground should be the figure, or when the combination of figure and ground create an illusion. After revising, I came up with the following graphic:

My students that will be using this graphic are 6th-8th graders working on a research paper relating to a person or group of people taking a stand for or against an event in history. Most students read on grade level, while there are some that are above, and some slightly below, grade level. There should be a basic understanding of elements found on a cover and title page of a book.
With the graphic, I will go over the elements necessary to cite a book in a paper. Each of the five elements is highlighted in corresponding colors below pictures of the actual book cover and title page. Together, we will review where to find the information on both the cover and title page of the book.
