We've been experimenting in class with Guided Language Acquisition Design strategies that encourage students to use more academic vocabulary and discussion as their build knowledge across the curriculum. It's amazing to see how pictures and visuals are incorporated in multiple modalities and activities to encourage students to make connections, see the big picture, and onward, to build to more sophisticated understandings. ... and they're totally doing it. Ask students to analyze a photograph and their ideas will blow you away. They'll notice little details and extrapolate big ideas from it. They'll notice so much more than what's just in the text. Ask them to look at that same picture in black and white, and the detailed understanding and exploration is stunted. Pictures and brains come alive when they interpret in color, and I'd like to use a color printer to print photographs and images to aid them in their deeper critical thinking and cognition, across the curriculum. This has been especially powerful in life science, where students analyze images of animals in trying to understand how their internal and external structures enable their growth and survival. This has been revelatory as students look at images of a language arts text, looking for clues and building greater understanding to the text based on the images. They make connections between characters, use empathy and perspective-taking as they look at emotions on faces. It's just not the same in black and white. Please enable me to open my students' minds through the purchase of a color printer. Please ensure my students can continue their growth through the purchase of additional color toner cartridges that keep the learning going.
