Analyzing the Image: Join the Interactive Discussion – Sept. 22, 2025

1. Begin by carefully observing the image above or its full-size version, then consider the three guiding questions related to it.

2. Participate in the discussion by clicking the comment button and sharing your thoughts in the panel that appears on the right. Students aged 13 and older are encouraged to comment directly, while educators may also contribute insights on behalf of younger students.

3. After posting your comment, review the responses from others and engage further by replying or addressing specific contributors using the “Reply” feature or the @ symbol.

Each Monday, Visual Thinking Strategies will moderate the discussion between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Eastern Time, summarizing key points and connecting replies to deepen participants’ understanding. Their contributions can serve as valuable examples for your own reflections.

4. On Thursday afternoons, additional information and context about the photograph will be provided at the bottom of this post. Consider how learning the caption and background details might alter your perception of the image.

Stay tuned for the Thursday update with further insights!
