Captions+WP


 * Objectives: Students will **
 * 1) define captions for images as "a title, short explanation, or description accompanying an illustration or a photograph"
 * 2) compare and contrast the messages in captions with the messages in the image.
 * 3) describe an example of a caption that changes the interpretation of the image.


 * Consider the following questions **
 * 1) How much can you change the meaning by adding your own caption? How is language used to change the connotation of an image?
 * 2) What do you would be good captions for the pictures above?
 * 3) Do you think newspapers and magazines ever set out deliberately to change the meaning of an image by the caption they use?
