Readers visualize when they make images in their heads from the text that they are reading or that is being read to them.When talking to students about visualizing it is important to emphasize that:
- Visualizing is easy to do.
- Visualizing and connecting are very similar. The images that you create in your mind come from connecting the author's words to your memories.
- There are many colourful words that help you create pictures (rainbows, etc.)

Synopsis:
Trickster Coyote is having his friends over for a festive solstice get-together in the woods when a little girl comes by unexpectedly. She leads the party-goers through the snowy woods to a shopping mall -- a place they have never seen before.
Coyote gleefully shops with abandon, only to discover that filling your shopping cart with goodies is not quite the same thing as actually paying for them. The trickster is tricked and goes back to his cabin in the woods -- somewhat subdued -- though nothing can keep Coyote down for long.
