Several participants at the Institute's 1994 summer conference shared ideas for using visuals or graphics in the classroom.
Many students learn better visually than textually.
To reach those students I use many graphics in my materials and in class. One of the most effective ways I have learned to use them is to ask the students to participate in their creation. This makes them much more invested in the graphic and requires that they really master the material. There are several ways to get students to participate. For example, I ask them to chart out the parol evidence rule of U.C.C. 2-202 by filling in a chart indicating what type of evidence is admissible under what circumstances.
