Examples of graphic organizers can be found at the following website: http://www.teachervision.com/lesson-plans/lesson-6293.html?s2.

Title: teaching important details for visual learners

Idea: There are a wide variety of activities and aids that can be used to help a visual learner learn important details. 

As you teach you can use resources such as: Power Point Presentations, Posters, Photographs/Illustrations, Flash Cards, Bulletin Boards, Collages, Movies, Graphs and Charts, or Visual Activities while teaching.  You can also teach the importance of highlighting important information in the text as you go along.  After the lesson,  visually appealing handouts, or graphic organizers can be used to help them remember the important details taught.  The sources that are used will most likely be determined by what the lesson is about, the age of the students, and how much time is available.

a good example of a work sheet is: http://www.superteacherworksheets.com/states/geography-south-dakota.pdf as it shows a picture of the state in questions and will allow them to use a larger map to help fill it out, and they will need to possibly use the internet or other source to fill out other information such as state bird or flower.

a good example of an activity that will allow them to visually understand Buoyancy and density is: http://www.superteacherworksheets.com/science-projects/dancing-raisins.pdf

 Title:  Guessing game

When you give your students something small to read take out some words that would make the reading unclear.  Create a word bank somewhere for the student.  First have the student read through it once without trying to replace the missing words.  Next let them add the words in that they think are appropriate.  Finally reread the text to see if it makes sense.
