Students select one favourite image and read its caption. Students pair it with one of the sustainable development goals/world issues.

Step Two

Find one photo image from your own personal experience that is worthy of being added to the collection. This image must fit the UN criteria for global issues. Create a title and a 100-word caption (a mini text type) to present and justify your choice. 

Be ready for step 3 next lesson. 

What is a caption?

Photo captions, also known as cutlines, are a few lines of text used to explain and elaborate on published photographs. ... Captions more than a few sentences long are often referred to as a "copy block".

How to write a caption on a photo

Check the facts. ...

Captions should add new information. ...

Always identify the main people in the photograph.

A photograph captures a moment in time. ...

Conversational language works best. ...

The tone of the caption should match the tone of the image.

Another Tip

Photo captions should be written in complete sentences and in the present tense. The present tense gives the image a sense of immediacy. When it is not logical to write the entire caption in the present tense, the first sentence is written in the present tense and the following sentences are not.

Lesson TWO

Find a partner who is now online but will be in class tomorrow. Perferably one with the same,similar Global Issue. 

 You need create a new title and caption to illustrate the connection between the two images.

 Note:  you need to ensure that you do not simply describe the images but develop a new narrative about the connection between the images to add meaning to the viewers’ interpretations of this pairing. 

Lesson Three

With your partner - think about the Global Issue and find two print  advertisement that covers this GI. They must be from different centuries (1990's or earlier and 2000's)  Analyse these as we did with the Get Milk ad and the Climate ads. You may not use ads that have been covered in class.
