2. Entering Activity What questions have come up since we last met? What new questions have emerged during weeks 7-12?

3. Goals for the Session At the conclusion of this session: I can implement photo/illustration analysis in my lesson plans. I can design a unit using Understanding by Design. I can create formative/summative assessments.

4. Why is photo/illustration analysis a great strategy Photo/illustration analysis: • enables students to develop their sense of observation. • encourages students to formulate questions. • helps students make interpretations. • helps students sharpen their critical thinking skills. • encourages discussion and deeper understanding of literacy content. • serves as a formative assessment after reading a content book. • satisfies KCAS standards: RL.K7, RI.K10, SL.1.2, RL.1.6, RL.1.7

5. There are four areas of objective questioning in photo/illustration analysis: • Subject • Setting • Action • Other clues

6. The subject includes the people and objects that are the focus of the photo or illustration. • Describe the people (or other subject). • What are they wearing? • Are they young or old? • How do you think they feel? • What do they look like? • What are the differences and/or similarities of the people?

7. The setting includes the environment around the subject(s). • Is the subject indoors or outdoors? • Describe the environment. • Describe the objects surrounding the subject.

8. The action includes the activity or event depicted in the photo or illustration. • What are the people (subjects) doing? • What event is taking place? • Are they working in groups or alone? • What is the relationship of the people?

9. Other Clues • What else do you see in the photo/illustration? • Is anything unusual or out of place? • Is there a title? What information does it give you? • Is there a caption? What information does it give you

10. Subjective Observation • What conclusions can you draw from the people or objects in this photo/illustration? • What questions do you now have that are not answered in the photo/illustration?

12. Formative/Summative Assessment Social Studies is such a powerful part of the curriculum – I feel it helps students practice for life…about the world they are entering, about the economic system in our country, about voting, about history and why we are what we are.” Joann Winkler
