Activity 1.12 Exploring a Photo Essay SUGGESTED Learning Strategies: Think-Pair-Share, Discussion Groups Literary terms A thesis is the main idea or point of an essay or article. An essay is an interpretive or analytic composition that reveals the author’s perspective on a subject. A photo essay reveals the author’s perspective on the subject through a collection of photographic images. Just as the words and sentences in a written essay are placed in a specific order, so are the images in a photo essay placed in a specific order to express ideas, convey emotions, and show a progression of thoughts or events. Analyzing a Photo Essay As your teacher directs, focus on the following topics as you “read” and analyze a photo essay: 1. Title 2. Sequence of images 3. Content of photographs 4. Captions Next, consider how you would use the three elements of Reader Response Criticism theory to think about the impact of the photo essay. After your initial analysis, revisit the photo essay and make interpretations based on your inferences. 1. What issues are presented in the photo essay, and what is the author’s position on the issues 2. What is the purpose of this photo essay 3. Who is the target audience for this photo essay 4. How do the images tell a story or progression of events to reveal a particular position © 2011 College Board. All rights reserved. 5. What is your interpretation of the photo essay Discuss how the composition and arrangement of the photos lead to your interpretation. 34 SpringBoard® English Textual Power Senior English

After reading, you will respond to a writing prompt about her point of view. My Notes E s s a y A b o u t t h e A u t h o r Jamaica Kincaid was born Elaine Potter Richardson in 1949 on the Caribbean island of Antigua. She was a precocious child and a voracious reader. At seventeen, disillusioned by her family’s lack of support for her talents, Kincaid moved to New York and later became a staff writer for The New Yorker. By 1985, writing under her chosen name, she had earned acclaim for two books: At the Bottom of the River, a book of short stories, and Annie John, a semi-autobiographical novel. Through deceptively simple and often bitter prose, Kincaid’s best-known writings detail the rhythms of everyday life in Antigua. © 2011 College Board. All rights reserved. From by Jamaica Kincaid When I saw England for the first time, I was a child in school sitting at a desk. The England I was looking at was laid out on a map gently, beautifully, delicately, a very special jewel: it lay on a bed of sky blue—the background of the map—its yellow form mysterious, because though it looked like a leg of mutton, it could not really look like anything so familiar as a leg of mutton 1 because it was England—with shadings of Chunk 1 1 mutton: the meat of domestic sheep <strong>Unit</strong> 1 • Perception Is Everything 35
