Connect a caption to a visual

Supplied materials

• Paper and pencil, or a browser text area. All named people/events/records are fictional learning inputs.
• Worked case: Need: chapter starting pages. Relation: in 2020, then in 2021. Caption: This is the axle. Final: The model has two wheels.
• Primary check: Need: page references for axle. Relation: wheel stuck, lubricant used as a response. Caption: Built in May. Final: You should keep the model dry.

Learn the idea

Captions can add information not obvious in a drawing, such as a part’s name, an event’s time, a motion or a measurement. Read the words with the graphic.

Read the caption and identify the particular information it contributes. Do not assume a drawn size is a measured size.

Example to read or listen to: Need: chapter starting pages. Relation: in 2020, then in 2021. Caption: This is the axle. Final: The model has two wheels. The answer is identifies a part. The relevant input states: Caption: This is the axle. This fits identifies a part. Captions can add information not obvious in a drawing, such as a part’s name, an event’s time, a motion or a measurement. Read the words with the graphic. A drawing without a scale is not a measurement.

1. Read or listen to the worked example. Say what the reading or writing task asks you to find. An adult can help with unfamiliar words.
2. Read the caption and identify the particular information it contributes. Do not assume a drawn size is a measured size.
3. Check the worked solution: identifies a part. The relevant input states: Caption: This is the axle. This fits identifies a part. Captions can add information not obvious in a drawing, such as a part’s name, an event’s time, a motion or a measurement. Read the words with the graphic. A drawing without a scale is not a measurement.
4. Try the question and the practice questions. Point to the words that helped you choose before checking the feedback.

Take it further

Optional extra practice: Make a one-page guide to a fictional two-wheel model using supplied facts: blue frame, 4 cm wheels, axle rod. Add a heading, labeled diagram and glossary definition. Separate one factual sentence from one recommendation for testing. Practice this lesson’s skill as you complete the task. Use this idea to check your work: Captions can add information not obvious in a drawing, such as a part’s name, an event’s time, a motion or a measurement. Read the words with the graphic.
