Bubbles can be used both proactively, by teaching about the future impact of their words, and reactively by teaching about what was said, why it was said, and how it was interpreted. We have personally found that thought and speech bubbles can be critical for some learners to make the process of how we interpret what we say to each other clear. Taking this concept into teaching sessions where individuals use visuals to represent their thoughts and words can be very powerful. Like many other professionals, we have found great benefit using comic strip conversation (Carol Gray’s Comic Strip Conversations, 1991) to draw stick figures with thought bubbles and speech bubbles to teach abstract ideas in a concrete way.
These are all visual tools to help us connect ideas, see the big picture, and keep our tasks, our engagements, and ourselves organized! Over the years, we have been surprised to hear parents or professionals report that their student is “too smart” or is too sophisticated for visual strategies! Personally, we use visual strategies to get through every single day: wall and computer calendars, Post-it® notes or appointment books, digital apps, flipcharts at meetings, whiteboard planning charts, digital mind maps, etc. San Jose Clinic Services (all links open San Jose website).Social Academic Connection & Goal Writing.Self Regulation, Social Responsibility &.You Are a Social Detective!: Curriculum Guide + Storybook (2-book teaching set).You Are a Social Detective!
