This learning exercise is an excellent way to teach critical visual literacy skills. Using Japanese woodprints as the informational context, the tutorial guides the learner in extracting and inferring meaning based on the visual cues. The exercise then adds text, guiding the learner to understand how dual coding adds to meaning.
