Procedure with graphics using Quranic verses in English

Abstract Visual aids are often the backbone for think aloud activities, presentations, evaluative and analytical exhibits and a researcher's data buddy after tabulating the results of any study. Graphic organizers are visual frameworks to help the learner make connections between concepts, usually showing particular processes or steps, and arrows indicating paths. The full name of this technique, Procedure with Graphics Using Quranic Verses in English, informs the literary text chosen for the Critical Reading Classroom. A lesson plan exhibits this particular technique using selected Quranic verses in English to augment the teaching and learning process at the undergraduate level. © 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
