There are many benefits to using visual aides in the classroom in my opinion. Since a majority of learners are indeed visual learners, using examples such as videos, powerpoints, or other multi-media aspects help reach out to all different learners. The most recent video shown, Once, was an excellent example of a personal narrative. It depicted a musician searching for his life, and finding the way through a young woman he met on the street. Through their enchanting duets and moving lyrics the duo charms the audience, but the catch is that they both are in love with other people. This semi-romantic musical was shown through the eyes of the un-named man, and visually depicted his experience. While the film was playing, I was trying to visuallize the story in writting, and I asked myself how to put this in words and still get the same emotion and feeling evoked from movie. For people like me who do think this way, showing examples of our upcoming writting assignment helps the viewer to figure out how to approach the paper and what to use or avoid. Overall, I think that the use of digital media and visual's was effective and absolutely right. The only one that may not have been all that cohesive to the topic was "The Office" episode... but that was still okay becuase it was funny. :)
