Lesson Targets

1.     I will know the meanings and terms for theme, tone and perspective in Visual Text analysis.

2.     I will infer the theme, tone and perspective of the visual texts and question.

3.     I will infer the visual text information in order to answer the multiple choice questions in my groups.

Let's recap: The skill of inference

Inference allows us to make logical conclusions from the clues found in a text(s).

We will be using this skill quite a lot when analyising visual texts and questions, to arrive at the most logical answer.

​Themes are a common idea or topic shared between two texts.

E.g. Health, Technology and Science are different topics/ideas. They fall under Themes.

Theme

Tone is the general attitude conveyed in a text.

E.g. Angry, Friendly, Persuasive are different attitudes conveyed in a text. They fall under tones.

Tone

​Perspective is the point of view shared by the writer of a text on a topic.

E.g. Agree, Disagree, Neutral are different points of views from a writer. They fall under perspectives.

Perspective

Annotation of Visual Text Question 1

​Hope that was a good warm-up!

Now let's begin by annotating the first Visual Text sources and questions, by inferring how the key words from them could tell us more about its theme, tones and perspectives.
