Lesson 1.1 Analyzing Images

Images that we see always present particular viewpoints. Viewpoint means the angle of
considering things which shows us the opinion or feelings of the individual involve in the
situation. It is the reflection of the opinion by an individual from real life or fiction can have.

In order to practice analyzing images, a tool named “Observe-Think-Wonder” may help

you examine it.

Step 1 Observe the picture to your

right. What is it about?
Step 2: Think about the things they
are doing. What do you think
the feelings they are
showing?
Step 3: Wonder why do they behave
that way. What questions can
you make out from this
image?
Department of Education-http://lrmds.deped.com

Possible Answers:

Observe I observe a family in the picture.

Think I think they are reading a happy story.
Wonder I wonder why the family should read such story on that book.
The picture above shows a family happily reading a story. The story tells a very exciting
event which catches the attention of everybody.

It is very important to know how to examine the images you see because this will help you
understand the message behind a particular picture.

Through image we can determine what kind of cultural belief a tribe had before by looking at
the old picture. Take a look at the picture of Surigaonons before.

Surigaonon Ako

The picture above shows the school children of Surigao City way back 1901. By looking at
the picture, we can say that even before, Surigaonons value education. They are also
conservative and elegant in clothing.

Images also reflect the age of the person. It can tell whether the person is young or old. Try
to look at the pictures below.

https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=old+man+image&qpvt=old+man+image&FORM=IQFRML

The man in the picture is old because he has white hair. He is wearing eyeglasses and his
skin is wrinkled.

https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Child+Holding+Head&form=IRIBEP&first=1&scenario=ImageBasicHover

The picture shows a young child holding his head. He is still young because his body
structure is smaller.

https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=male+and+female+images&qs=n&form=QBIR&sp=-1&pq=male+and+female+images&sc=2-
22&cvid=EEE0783F960047A0A25494EEE5185872&first=1&scenario=ImageBasicHover

Gender can be identified with Male or Female characteristics. Male is obviously musculine in
structure. He has short hair and usually wears jeans and shirt. On other hand, female has
soft body structure. She has long hair and wears blouse, skirt and dresses. She uses
cosmetics like lipsticks, make up, handbag, hair pins, hair bonds, etc. Male also wears
rubber shoes, backpacks, boots, belts, and other things that are design for boys.

Teacher Christina is female because she has feminine charcteristics while Teacher Randy is
male because he has musculine characteristics.

By examining images, we can also predict events to happen. Examine the images below and
try to predict what will happen next.

The picture above shows a boy who is just awake from a deep sleep. What do you think he
will do after? Try to guess the next event he shall do.

Of course, after waking up in the morning, you should brush your teeth.

Lesson 1.2 Giving Opinion

Giving Opinion! When we give our opinion, we say what we think, feel or believe about
something or somebody.

Below are some phrases that you can use to help express opinions. Some of these phrases
are more appropriate for written English such as giving opinions in an essay whereas some
can also be used in spoken English.

“In my experience…” “I’d say that…”

“As far as I’m concerned…” “I’d suggest that…”
“I’m absolutely convinced…” “I’d like to point out that…”
“Speaking for myself…” “I believe that…”
“In my opinion…” “Personally, I think…”
“What I mean is…” “It’s obvious to me…”
