Students will think critically about a variety of tips for how to "read" a photograph as they develop a deeper understanding of the power of visuals, including why they are so popular and how being able to analyze photographs will make them more informed. ANALYZING PHOTOGRAPHS ACTIVITY CONTENTS: A PDF doodle, coloring page for review or note-taking A Google Slides™ presentation with several components. Tips for reading or analyzing photographs Example photographs for each tip - 8 total Slides for students to find their own photos and explain them Group or partner application and text evidence discussion slides Discussion or writing slides that provide thought-provoking extensions Slide notes...Ideas for what to talk with students about for each of the tips and example images included This media literacy photo analysis activity will help students consider the role of perspective. Photographers have context and a perspective, and how they choose to photograph their subject(s) influences the audience's experience. Likewise, audience members bring their own biases and background experience when making inferences about a photograph, which results in a variety of different perspectives. This media literacy activity will also help students understand the impact photographers can have in activism with social issues. Analyzing photographs for bias, point of view, purpose, and context among many other elements is an important skill for twenty-first century learners. FORMAT This resource is included in Google Slide™ format. You can download it as a PDF or as a PowerPoint file. The text on the slides is editable. You an also change the photographs to fit your needs. The PDF doodle notes page is not editable. This resource is ready for distance learning. LENGTH This lesson takes approximately 2 forty-five minute class periods to complete as designed. However, it can be abbreviated to one class period or extended through research into a longer mini unit. I recommend it for junior high students (with teacher scaffolding) and high school students.

Documentary photography is undergoing an unprecedented transformation as it adapts to the impact of digital technology, social media and new distribution methods. In this book, photographer and educator Michelle Bogre contextualizes these changes by offering a historical, theoretical and practical perspective on documentary photography from its inception to the present day. Documentary Photography Reconsidered is structured around key concepts, such as the photograph as witness, as evidence, as memory, as narrative and as a vehicle for activism and social change. Chapters include in-depth interviews with some of the world's leading contemporary practitioners, demonstrating the wide variety of different working styles, techniques and topics available to new photographers entering the field. Every key concept is illustrated with work from a range of innovative, influential and often under-represented photographers, giving a flavor of the depth and range of projects from the history of this global art form. There are also creative projects designed to spark ideas and build skills, to help you conceive, develop and produce your own meaningful documentary projects. The book is supported by a companion website, which includes in-depth video interviews with featured practitioners.

Extend your students’ media literacy skills with this Photo Analysis unit. Students develop a vocabulary for analyzing photographs and art (Elements of Art and Principles of Design), strengthen understanding through nonfiction readings and practice activities, and complete individual analyses. Key Takeaways for students: ✅ Analyzing photographs is like analyzing a text ✅ Elements of art are like figurative language for photographs ✅ Photographers consider audience, context, and purpose This collection of lessons helps improve media literacy by having students analyze photographs as texts. Analyzing photographs (unlike literature) convinces students that there are no "right answers" and that analysis is, instead, all about your evidence. Each photo analysis activity is independent, making this an easy unit to teach analyzing photographs and media literacy during standardized testing or other times that you may not have all students in the classroom at the same time. Everything is highly scaffolded so that students can work on it independently, and can easily pick up where they left off. Perfect media literacy unit for: ✅ 7-10 ELA ✅ Pre-AP ✅ Yearbook & Journalism This photo analysis unit includes: ⭐️ A Photo Analysis project where students try their hand at photography (students each take one photograph and then they analyze a classmate's. This isn't a subjective good/bad judgment, but rather "student as the artist" and another student analyzing the "text" presented) ⭐️ Interview a Photographer project & rubric ⭐️ Elements of Art & Principles of Design (terms & practice) ⭐️ Writing an Analysis of a Photograph (scaffolded practice) ⭐️ Psychology of Color (nonfiction article) & practice ⭐️ Photographer Biography: Gordon Parks & scaffolded analysis ⭐️ Psychology of Perspective (nonfiction article) & practice ⭐️ Two independent analyses and guided peer conferencing ⭐️ Two optional quizzes. Editable in PowerPoint. ⭐️ Teacher's Guide with answer keys, student exemplars, and rubrics ⭐️ Low-ink options, with slideshows of photos to project ⭐️ Digital Versions of the student workbook in Google Slides and the quizzes in Google Forms All resources are available in an editable (PowerPoint) workbook so that you can sub in any photos you choose. You can also upload the workbook to Google Slides if you prefer. If you're looking for engaging ways to teach students to write an analysis, this unit is for you! What Reviewers Are Saying: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This resource includes everything I need to teach a basic photo analysis unit: suggested lesson plans, quizzes, answer documents, photos, reference sheets, rubrics, and informational texts. The best part is that this can be taught alone or as a complement to a larger unit! I can't wait to use this unit in my classroom!" -Krisanna M., 10th-11th grade ELA ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Great media literacy activity for any time of year! I like that it is short and helps build the skills and stamina that we can later bring to their reading. I use it to introduce our classroom community and procedures we use all semester. Great pictures, articles, and directions! I love that it is editable but also ready to use with everything you need." -Jeni L. 9-12th grade ELA ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "As consumers of an increasing amount of digital images as texts, students need to be able to think critically about different types of visual texts. This unit breaks the photo analysis process into manageable steps to help students understand the artist's message and purpose. I have no doubt that students will see the application easily because of filters they already use on photos they publish to their social media accounts!" -Christine B., AP Seminar, 11th and 9th grade Honors ELA About This Photo Analysis & Media Literacy Unit: Your resource contains a mix of editable documents (editable in .PPT or a clone) and print-and-go PDFs. You can choose any photos you want for students to analyze - use mine, or choose your own! You can edit the project instructions and rubrics. The Teacher's Guide is a print-and-go PDF.
