Investigating Images

Investigating Images helps students understand historical and contemporary times and places through the critical examination of vivid and evocative images.

The print resource features nine activities to help students interpret the explicit content of images, read behind images and challenge images to better understand historical and contemporary times and places. It includes teaching instructions, reproducible data charts, and assessment rubrics.

Interpreting Explicit Content

• Assess the explanation
• Explain the image
• Draw conclusions about quality of life
• Focus on the senses
• Describe inner thoughts

Reading Behind the Image

• Uncover the themes
• Decipher the implied message

Challenging an Image

• Reflect on the image
• Look for distortions

The sample images used for each of the nine activities are also available for teachers to access through our photo gallery.
