Students were presented with the task of conducting interviews with members of the community. They gathered stories about school days, summer evenings, misadventures, and hunting. In an effort to capture and communicate the essence of oral stories through print, it became evident that visual literacy skills were gradually developed. In order for that to occur, pedagogy interventions had to take place. The research found that pedagogical strategies guided the concept development through visual investigation, which demonstrated the participants’ ability to interpret, negotiate and make meaning of an oral story in the form of an image. The findings illustrate that each phase of the project contributed to the development of visual literacy of the class.
