Task 1
Write one accurate caption for A that uses its wider context, and a different accurate caption for B that uses its closer detail. Underline the visible evidence each caption depends on.
AC9E4LA10 • Homework
Framing, Placement and Salience in Images worksheet
Complete eight distinct viewing, captioning and design tasks. An adult checks your actual work and accepts other well-supported responses.
Open practiceEight image and design tasks
Use the response spaces or separate paper. Point, label, draw, write or use your usual communication support. Keep each image beside its task. These original illustrations are not photographs of real events. No external account or video is needed for this printed homework.
Task 2
A publisher wants a page about a turtle’s shell and a page about a fish’s body shape. Match one sea illustration to each purpose. Write a reason naming a visible detail, then sketch one revision that would make either detail clearer.
Task 3
Compare the two park notices. Describe one change and two things that stay the same. Explain how this helps you explore contrast. If your print is in greyscale, describe the different fill tones instead of relying on colour names.
Task 4
A class display needs to show the relationship between both players and the goal. Mark or redraw a useful boundary on B that keeps those details. Then draw a different boundary for a display about the red-shirted player’s face. Explain what your second frame leaves out.
Task 5
An invented news caption under B says, “Nobody else visited this beach today.” Write a respectful correction using A as evidence. Add one question a reporter should investigate before making a claim about the whole day.
Task 6
Create a new “Keep the path clear” notice. Use a relevant picture, clear words, and one emphasis choice that still helps in a black-and-white print. Label how the picture and words work together.
Task 7
Plan an original silent clip about finding a small leaf on a large plant. Draw three labelled frames: opening, middle and ending. Choose whether the whole plant or the leaf is revealed first. Explain how that order guides attention. This is a storyboard task, not a claim that you filmed or watched a new clip.
Task 8
Make two different still-picture plans for the sentence “Two people read a map together”. Keep both people and the map in both. Change placement or relative size, label the change, then explain how each plan might influence a viewer.
Examples and adult review guidance
Task 1
Example or expected evidence: A: Four people stand on this part of the beach. B: A red bucket with a curved handle stands beside the child. Underline four people and curved handle.
Adult check: Require two actual captions, each supported by its supplied frame, and identified evidence. Accept other visible details. Do not accept whole-beach visitor counts or invented feelings.
Task 2
Example or expected evidence: A suits the shell page because the large shell has visible internal lines. B suits the fish page because the large fish’s oval body is prominent. A revision could enlarge the shell panel further while keeping its outline inside the frame.
Adult check: Require both purpose matches with visible reasons and an actual labelled revision or accessible layout plan. Accept supported alternative revisions; do not treat illustrated scale as a measurement of real animals.
Task 3
Example or expected evidence: The triangle changes from yellow/paler fill in A to grey in B. Its size and position stay the same. Keeping the layout steady helps us explore whether the fill contrast changes what stands out.
Adult check: Require the fill change, two retained features and a contrast explanation. Colour printing or the online image can supplement a poor greyscale print. Do not grade an unsupported universal claim that everyone looks first at the triangle.
Task 4
Example or expected evidence: The shared-setting frame keeps both players and the goal within its edges. A tighter face frame keeps the red-shirted player’s head and shoulders and excludes the blue-shirted player and most field context.
Adult check: Inspect two actual marked boundaries or accessible boundary descriptions. Require both players plus goal in the first, a genuine closer face view in the second, and an accurate exclusion. Accept varied frame shapes or margins.
Task 5
Example or expected evidence: B leaves other people outside its frame, but A shows three others nearby. A safer caption describes only the child and bucket. The reporter could ask what reliable records or observations cover visits during the rest of the day.
Adult check: Require an actual correction distinguishing cropped view from absence, visible evidence from A and a relevant question about the unsupported time/whole-beach claim. Accept other cautious wording; this invented example is not a report about a real beach.
Task 6
Example or expected evidence: A bold outline shows a bag blocking a path, crossed by a clear diagonal line. The words name the action. A thick border and generous space around the picture make it noticeable without relying on colour alone.
Adult check: Inspect the actual new notice or accessible composition plan. Require words, relevant image, a non-colour emphasis choice and an explanation of their combined message. Accept other understandable designs; drawing polish is not graded.
Task 7
Example or expected evidence: A plan could open wide on the plant, move closer to one branch, then end on the leaf. The viewer gets the setting first and then inspects a small detail. Another valid plan reveals the whole plant after a leaf close-up.
Adult check: Require three actual ordered drawings or an accessible layout plan and a coherent attention/information explanation. Accept either justified order. The plan must not be recorded as completed actual moving-image viewing.
Task 8
Example or expected evidence: One plan places both people close to a large map near the middle, emphasising the shared object. Another shows a wider setting with the people beside the map, helping a viewer locate their activity. Both retain all three required elements.
Adult check: Inspect two actual original plans and labels. Require both people and map in each, a meaningful changed placement/size choice and two supported possible responses. Accept different effective designs and supported communication methods.
