Hello Karen,
It really puts students at ease whenever they can see a completed example of an assignment. It gives them the confidence that they need to complete the assigment. It makes them believe--oh, I can do that. I see it, therefore, I fully understand what is expected of me. There is nothing like visuals; visuals really spark interest from students. As an instructor, I have witnessed if you can show a completed example, you will get better grades from students. Let's keep visuals alive.
