8. Technique Spotlight: Slow Reveal

  • 6 Steps

Slow reveal is an engaging instructional technique teachers can use to help students make sense of data visualizations. It entails stripping down a data visualization so that it’s free of any titles, labels, or numbers, leaving only the signifiers that represent the data, and then revealing one visual element at a time, while asking students questions about what they see and the information each element provides. This module provides an overview of the slow reveal technique and discusses why it's particularly useful in social studies classes.
