Presentation Transcript

  1. Reading Photos, Reading Life Visual Literacy and To Kill a Mockingbird

  2. What is Visual Literacy? • Visual Literacy is ability to read non-print visual texts. For example, photographs, paintings, sculptures and movies. • When we look at pictures we infer ideas about what is happening and what is not happening in the non-print visual text. • These ideas come from the history we know and our own personal thoughts and ideas.

  3. What is the aim of Visual Literacy? • The purpose of being able to read a non-print text is to help you make connections between the things you already know to the things you are going to be learning. • Being able to make these connections helps you to truly learn and know things.

  4. Time to Learn…Time to Practice…

  5. Reading a Photo… To Read a Photo, you must do the following… • Observe the photo for 2 minutes for overall impression and then individual items. • Make a list of what you see and don’t see: People, Objects & Activities • Make a list of inferences from what you see • Make a list of questions the photo raises in you mind • Where could you go to find the answers to your questions? http://www.archives.gov/digital_classroom/lessons/analysis_worksheets/photo.html
