# Day 44 · A picture can shout louder than its caption

**Useful end:** An own truthful caption or framing choice for an original invented picture.

**Preparation:** Existing suitable blankpaper/marking tool or usual communication is enough. Keep the full ordinary source below ready, selected fresh sources and staff panels separate. Check the learner's actual previous opportunities; teach the named relationship before asking for independence.

### Run the lesson

1. **Own starting thought ·3minutes.** Ask: “A picture can shout louder than its caption. What would you want the next reader to know?” Retain the own first contribution before the worked model.
2. **Read and model ·5minutes.** Complete ordinary source: An original drawn garden picture is cropped so one large flower fills the frame. The source gives no information about flowers outside that frame.

   Worked reasoning: The picture shows one flower in this close-up is supported. This garden has only one flower is not. I can make the flower large and interesting without adding a claim about everything outside the frame.
3. **A different guided try ·5minutes.** Use an unrelated drawing of a toy shelf with one large title card in close-up. Compare an accurate caption with a caption claiming every shelf is identical.
4. **Choose one useful route ·10minutes.**
   - Route1: Use large paper view windows over an original drawing or direct a helper's framing choice; explain what is excluded.
   - Route2: Make two original still-picture panels with different framing and source-faithful captions.
   - Route3: Describe two imagined frames and direct a faithful scribe to label the intended attention and remaining unknown.
5. **Look closely ·5minutes.** Record a framing/placement/salience effect actually explained; attractive colour alone does not show how meaning changes. No real photograph, provider artwork or camera is needed.
6. **Keep a next move ·2minutes.** Teach the difference between what is shown and what is claimed outside a frame.

**Access and evidence:** Private work, usual speech/sign/AAC, pointing, drawing, directing a faithful scribe or no-object work are available. Rest, decline or return are possible. Record what was actually contributed and the actual help. Adult reading supports meaning; dictation preserves composition but does not demonstrate independent reading/spelling/handwriting. Never fill in a missing reader, event, check or child result.
