The simple, yet deliberate, task of learning from the title of a primary source can provide ongoing practice of literary skills. Students learning new material may require support, including guiding questions, to help with vocabulary or syntax to gain information from captions within and across disciplines."
I plan to use this not only to have students analyze captions, but challenge them to create captions for images in their presentations. How many alternate captions can they create that might change the viewer's perception of the image? Another great post from Teaching with the LOC!
