This lesson focuses on the skill of analyzing visual texts to uncover deeper meanings. Students will explore how meaning is conveyed through visuals and practice inferring the meanings of complex vocabulary in context. Through independent reading, students will reflect on their texts, express opinions with reasons, and define key terms such as "irony" and "juxtapose." The lesson culminates in a writing prompt where students articulate their analysis of a visual text, considering the photographer's message and making plans for future success.
