Which visual literacy strategy involves a silent video clip and creating a script with a partner?

• A. Video clip
• B. Video clip without sound; create script with a partner
• C. Create illustration
• D. Make PowerPoint presentation

Answer: (B)

Focusing on using a silent video clip as a prompt and turning what you observe into a written script with a partner blends seeing with writing. When students watch a clip without sound, they must infer meaning from visuals—what’s happening, who the characters are, where the scene takes place, and the mood. Then, collaborating to write a script requires them to decide who speaks, how characters sound, and how the action unfolds through dialogue and stage directions. This purposeful pairing strengthens both visual interpretation and writing craft, especially in conveying tone, character, and pacing through written language. The other options don’t combine these two elements. A video clip alone lacks the writing task and collaborative scripting; creating an illustration emphasizes image creation rather than script writing; and a PowerPoint project centers on slides rather than producing a collaborative, written script from a silent visual prompt.
