So useful and flexible! These analysis methods work for any subject, and you can use them over and over. This resource provides you with tools to analyze readings, visuals, and videos:

• “Close Reading” is a text annotation method that ensures students really read and have commentary to share.

• “Close Looking” is an engaging method that provides a structure for analyzing images such as photographs and art.

• “Close Watching” is an innovative method that ensures students pay attention to educational videos and write questions and comments to share.

The resource includes lesson plans with standards, objectives, and step-by-step directions. The editable handouts include graphic organizers that support differentiation. There are also editable rubrics for each lesson and slides to help you get started with image analysis!

WHY GET THIS RESOURCE?

• You can use these methods with any content. They allow you to focus on what to teach, not the methods you’ll use to teach it. Because the content is new, students don’t get bored, they just get down to business.
• Once students learn the methods, you don’t have to start from scratch. No more “I don’t get what to do” (at least after the first time). It’s quite amazing (see the student quotes below).

STUDENT FEEDBACK (errors uncorrected)

• "I like how everything was organized and put together which made it easy for me to get things done."
