Today in class, our english teacher gave us numerous pictures, seemingly from comics, to ask us to piece them together to form a logical scene. We were grouped into teams according to our preferred learning styles - a test taken by us on a certain website.
In the process of "assembling" the pieces, we had a lot of fun reasoning with each other. Eventually, we succeeded in forming a logical scene. All in all, I realised the fun and joy of learning visually. Our english teacher also showed us a graphic novel titled "ZOOM". The novel is about looking at things from different perspectives. The book starts with the crown of a rooster, gradually expanding into a toy house, then a magazine, an advertisement of a cruise ship printed on a bus, and so on. It ends with "zooming" until the Earth is only a speck seen from outer space.
After the introduction of the novel, I marvelled at the intelligence of the author, or illustrator, able to "see" from so many different perspectives. I also realised that I can learn better visually than with words. I remembered that one of my school teachers told me during assembly period that humans learn 55% of things visually, 38% on hearing and only a mere 7% on text itself.

Word Count: 203 words.
