I was rooting through some Hypothes.is annotations that had surfaced in my Readwise feed and discovered this from Joe Dillon’s 2016 blog post.. This was my way towards analyzing text, image, and text with image.

I use a model for analysis that goes like this:

1. What is the “text”?

2. What is the context?

3. What is the subtext?

I initially used this model to teach 8th graders about how to analyze political cartoons. Later I used it as a tool for analyzing all manner of media. I have added a fourth text to this.

       4. What are the pretexts (assumptions)?
