Photography's Ability to Persuade Through Fact & Fiction: Lesson 1

This lesson grows student awareness of the many roles photography plays in our personal and political lives, helping them develop strength in discerning how images may be attempting to persuade them and ways to identify its veracity. Students will explore visual examples (in attachments or teacher-sourced), guided discussion, critique, and exploration of their own found examples. Reflection at the end of the lesson will reinforce the importance of telling the truth with images as well as the role they play in creating & sharing trustworthy imagery. This is lesson 1 of a 3-part unit.
