Photographs as “constructed” texts • Photographers or subjects may stage photographs in order to deliver a message • Photographs may depict atypical situations or events • Photographs may be deliberately altered • Photographs may exclude important aspects of a situation
Things to consider: (handout) • Careful attention to details • Geographical data (climate, landscape) • Historical data (clothing, hairstyles, furniture) • Sociological data (social class, relationships) • Emotional context (feelings of people depicted) • Aesthetic qualities (general appeal, use of colour, light, texture) • Photographer/artist’s perspective and purpose (intended audience & messages conveyed)
Working with the Images • In a small group, discuss how you have already used images in the classroom. • What questions would you generate to get students thinking about the images?
Popular Images • Each group will be assigned a famous Canadian image • What are the different ways that you can analyze the image? • Is one way better than the other?
Strategies that I use… • 5 Ws- Who, What, Where, When and Why • OPBA • O- Opinion • P- Purpose • B- Bias • A- Accuracy
