DEFINE
"Images carry content with visceral power" Images convey emotion and facts simultaneously. The effect of an image is virtually instantaneous, and the viewer responds without conscious thought." Source []

Australian Curriculum and Visual Literacy
"Literacy also takes account of visual literacy and the rapid changes that have occurred as a result of new technologies in the ways that communication takes place. It is informed by the work of Kress and Van Leeuwen (2006), who have identified a comprehensive grammar of visual design"

Visual Knowledge
This element involves students understanding how visual information contributes to the meanings created in learning area texts. It includes interpreting still and moving images, graphs, tables, maps and other graphic representations, and understanding and evaluating how images and language work together in distinctive ways in different curriculum areas to present ideas and information in the texts they compose and comprehend. In developing and acting with literacy, students:
 * understand how visual elements create meaning.

Work collaboratively to create a product to demonstrate this concept.

1) Reflect on the theme/topic 2) Identify key words to analyse the topic 3) Search in photo databases for images to represent the concept/topic (The Guardian Eyewitness, Flickr Plus, Getty Images, PhotoFind) 4) Add these images to a photo mashing app (PW Lite or Pic Collage Lite) 5) Share the image using Edmodo

Reflect on the product: What message is being portrayed? [Comment using Bill Atkinson PhotoCard Lite - Postcard]

//Other suggestions// - Locate //one// image to using an image database. Justify why this images represents this concept the best. - Create images and compile //in// a slideshow on a topic (Photo slideshow Director, Animoto, Haiku Deck). Critique the products. - Retell a story using only 5 images

**5 Photo Stories**
Resources [|PLAYING WITH MEDIA WORK FLOW]
