What exactly is a Pictatio? A Pictatio is similar to a Dictatio but instead of writing down sentence, students are drawing pictures on whiteboards. I have done dictatio exercises with my students many times, and they are great prereading exercises. Much like Keith Toda, I learned how to do a Dictatio at Pedagogy Rusticatio.
