Reader Idea | Before Tackling Shakespeare, Students Analyze Puzzling Photos | Digital Literacy in the Library | Scoop.it

Christa Forster writes:  "In the month leading up to our study of Shakespeare’s plays “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and “Othello,” I use the “What’s Going On in This Picture?” activity in my ninth- and 10th-grade English classes to help prepare students to read the plays and to write the analytical papers that are the culmination of our Shakespeare unit.

The activity also prepares students to think critically and creatively about how to physically embody a character from the play to prepare for the group performance activity they’ll also do."

Mary Reilley Clark's insight:

What a great way to get students to analyze and think critically! Students aren't the only ones who feel uncomfortable when they interact with unfamiliar text or images. Having a strategy to analyze new material can help students move past that initial feeling of discomfort, which is where many of them give up. I love the simplified version of VTS cited here:

 

  • what is going on in this picture/text?
  • what do you see that makes you say that?
  • what more can you find?
