This picture demonstrates a good activity that a teacher could do when introducing the strategy of making mental images. It helps the students see that they will not all form the same pictures in their head because they all have different past experiences and background knowledge. It is also a good reminder for teachers for the same reason!

This graphic organizer would be a good way to have students show the images that the text they are reading evokes. It also has a place for the student to record the words/phrases in the text that prompted them to see what they did.
