Visual literacy is defined as student's ability to “use, interpret, analyze, and think critically about visual images and the significance of what they are seeing” (Bamford, 2001).

Observe, Reflect, Question Observe: What do you see? Describe the scene to someone who doesn’t have the photograph. Look for details that make the photograph unique. Reflect: Add context to the photograph. When do you think it was taken? Where? Why did the photographer take the picture? If the photograph were a movie, what do you think happens next? Question: What else do you want to know?

Rules for Asking Questions 1. Ask as many questions as you can. 2. Do not stop to judge, discuss, or answer any questions. 3. Write down every question as stated. 4. Change any statement into a question.

QFT Questioning Formulation Technique Rules Ask as many questions as you can. Do not stop to judge, discuss, edit, or answer any question. Write down every question exactly as it was asked. Change any statements into questions. Producing Questions In small groups, students produce as many questions as they can without stopping to judge or answer. A recorder writes down every question exactly as it is stated. Students should change statements into questions.

Open and Closed Questions Teacher gives a simple explanation of difference between close ended questions (those that can be answered with a yes or no or a single word) and open ended questions (those that need more explanation). Discuss with students the advantages and disadvantages of each. Students categorize questions as open or closed. Students should change one question from open to closed and one question from closed to open. Prioritize Questions Students prioritize the questions they have generated choosing what they consider to be three most important questions. Students provide a rationale for their choices. Small groups share their questions with the class.

Next steps for Questions Student input can vary (e. g. They might use their own questions, or the teacher and students may choose one compelling question for the whole class to pursue. ) Can lead to research, an experiment, an essay, preparation for an interview or Socratic seminar, etc. Reflect on Process Ask students to think about the work they have done, what they have learned and its value
