Template Sins

True False

1. There is a tendency to think of visual images as less important, less “academic” than text.

2. It’s appropriate for kindergarten children to color a picture and then write a caption.

3. By second or third grade, students use pencils more often than crayons.

4. If you’re having fun, you’re not learning. (The “fun police” are watching, just in case.)
