OBJECTIVE:
Writing questions about a photograph is an engaging and fun way to interact with a photograph on piclits.com. This lesson encourages users and students to think creatively about the photograph and invent a question. Some users may want to answer the question, but do not need to do so.

Users will be using DRAG-N-DROP mode and will learn how to create and punctuate a question.

We will learn how to write intriguing questions and answers by using PIC-LITS.

MODEL PIC-LIT:

I placed the question at the top of the photograph to get the viewer to think about the question and experience the photograph top to bottom. And then I answered the question at the bottom. Notice how I labeled the question with “Question:” and the answer with “Answer:”.
