9. Individually, in your composition book : 4) List at least 20 details that you simply notice as interesting, strange, revealing or significant. 5) Now rank these details by assigning each a number in order of importance. 6) With your partner, share these lists you’ve generated. Note (e.g. circle or star) any that are shared or similarly ranked.

10. Discuss: With your partner, discuss why you’ve noticed what you have. Then go further. Why did you rank these as you did? Finally, answer what makes these details interesting, strange, revealing or significant, and what purpose might they serve, or meaning might they create for the viewer?
