What Do You See? Observation Describe exactly what you see in the photo. • What people and objects are shown? • How are they arranged? • What is the physical setting? • What other details can you see?

Knowledge Summarize what you already know about the situation and time period shown, and the people and objects that appear.

Further Research: What questions has the photo raised?

Interpretation Say what you conclude from what you see. • What’s going on in the picture? • Who are the people & what are they doing? • What might be the function of the objects? • What can we conclude about the time period? What are some sources I can use to find answers?
