Snapshot Sleuths

In this worksheet, students study a series of intriguing pictures and make predictions about what may be happening or what will happen next. Each image-floating backpacks, empty streets, mysterious rooftop gardens-contains visual clues students must interpret. The worksheet encourages students to observe carefully and think beyond what is shown. By writing their predictions, students demonstrate their ability to draw meaning from images, not just text.

Predicting from pictures strengthens visual literacy skills, which are essential for modern readers. Students learn to look for subtle details that support logical conclusions. This practice builds inference skills by requiring students to connect what they see with what they know. Visual prediction work also boosts creativity by letting students imagine multiple possible outcomes.
