Using mentor examples of museum labels, wartime posters, and modern media posts, the class studies how captions, color, symbols, and image placement guide viewer understanding. Students annotate a teacher-provided Then and Now station mock-up, noting where audience, purpose, tone, persuasive techniques, and misinformation clues are communicated clearly. They finish by drafting a layout plan and caption frame for their own station materials.
