Analyzing Documents
Throughout my Photo Analysis Unit, students write three analyses of individual photos. They brainstorm and draft the first two as a class, and they completely the second independently. Although I share my chosen structure for an analysis and conference with students, I don’t grade the final product. Students improve their structure. The photos to the left are all from Pondicherry, India which is one of the main settings in Life of Pi. Your task today is to analyze one photo from each category and then draw some conclusions.
