This presentation will explore how one professor incorporated picture text into classroom lectures and discussions. Picture text was used as a mnemonic device to assist a student’s retention of information and one’s memory in recalling a concept or theory. The picture text was not a firm written text consisting of a set number of symbols that correspond to particular words or phrases. Rather, each design was a student’s personal creation. Each student was encouraged to draw symbols, lines and/or shapes that would help him him/her remember a concept or theory discussed in class.

Learners will be able to explain the process of pollination and sexual reproduction of flowering plants

There are also featured exhibits for further study by students and all others wishing to learn more about the history of the Pacific Northwest.

Note: These primary sources include materials that reflect the attitudes, perspectives, and beliefs of different times. These materials are presented as part of the historical record. Inclusion of these materials does not mean endorsement of or agreement with any views expressed. But they provide opportunities for examining multiple perspectives, generating discussions and comparing and contrasting points of view over time.
