I am going to chime in suggesting you share Molly Bang's *Picture This:
Perception and Composition*. I have used it with third graders on up
through grad. students. Once the students have this under their belts, they
are able to look at just about every picture book and think about the
interesting ways that the composition is telling the story, creating
tension, developing the tone etc...

Thank you to everyone for your generous suggestions--I cannot wait to
spend a few hours up to my elbows in picture books!
Best,

You might try a few excerpts from Berger's W*ays of Seeing* since you're
working in a high school. Yeah, it's from 1972, but it's still SO
fascinating.

What grades?
My students (K-4) enjoyed *Du Iz Tak *by Carson Ellis. They were
able to figure out the meaning of the nonsense words from the pictures.
The
pictures demonstrate the change of place as time passes. It's a fun book
to
analyze.

Hi Tasha,
I recently created a wordless picture book display for high
school students - focusing on the concept of: building critical
thinking,
develop empathy, broaden perspectives through images.
I think Duck!Rabbit! by Amy Krouse Rosenthal is a great one for
your purposes.
Have fun!

Hi all,
I am working on a class on visual literacy. I want to start with
a picture book that helps demonstrate the notion that -- in Debbie
Abilock's words -- every image makes an argument. Does anyone have
any
suggestions?
Currently, I am planning to use Brendan Wenzel's *They All Saw
a Cat*, because it uses varied illustration styles to convey
the perspective with which different animals view a cat. However, I
need to
carry several dozen copies with me when I travel and that book is
only
available in hardcover.
Whether any particular title is available in paperback is
something I can check, but I would appreciate any title suggestions
that
you think would be a good fit to illustrate this principle.
Thank you,
Tasha
