This lesson, a picture of an elderly lady was put on the board with a bowl of porridge in front of her. Firstly we were told this was the picture used for the front cover of a national tabloid newspaper about the care taken in care homes and we had to come up with a caption. Mine was “elderly lady forced to fend for herself”. Secondly we were told it was a picture used to advertise porridge – the answers people came up were completely different e.g. “if only she had Quaker Oats!” this task proved how much power the media have and that a picture has no value until a caption is put with it.
