Students will learn about the OPTIC Method and practice analyzing a visual text. This will aid students in their Advanced Placement Language and Composition and/or AP History courses, and better prepare them for the end-of-course AP Exam.
In 2010, I was a trainee at a College Board sponsored AP Language and Composition training workshop, where participants were guided on how best to teach students the OPTIC Method. I have taught this method to students since that time.
Students will need two handouts for class: the OPTIC Method sheet to explain the strategy, and the visual image provided for them to analyze. These handouts will be available in the classroom.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
