Use the advice on previewing, annotating, and conversing with an image or a multimodal text in section A2-a to guide your active reading of one of the following visuals—a cartoon by Peter Steiner and a photograph by Alexandra Hays—or a visual of your choice. Pay particular attention to details and to what surprises or interests you about the text and what you notice on a second reading. If you could talk with the composer of the text, what questions would you ask? Exchange notes and questions with a classmate. Then reflect on how the process of reading and questioning a visual helped you understand it and form a judgment about it. Record your reflections and questions in the space below.
