 It is very important to understand that all images are created by people.  All media images are representations of reality that can shape peoples ideas about the world..  This is why it is important to be a critical viewer of media images.

 1. All images are created by people: people make conscious choices about what an image will show and how it will show it.  2. An image is one person’s version of reality: An image reflects the point of view of the person who created it. Always consider other points-of-view when looking at an image.

 On your paper write down two things:  1. What the image is of.  2. What impression the image has on you (what the image means)

 You are going to create a chart depicting how others see you.  This is to be done on the handout.  Think about how you are viewed by those around you.
