|| What about the human body is a really relevant resource to be used to teach about the human body. Since our outcome is from the science and technology syllabus. It’s definitely really relevant. It is helpful and provides a starting point when teaching about the organ functions and systems of the human body. || What about the human body? Has structured analytical images. Structured analytical images are images that are structured in terms of part whole structure. They involve two kinds of participation: one the carrier( the whole) and the possessive attribute(the part).(Kress and van Leeuwen, 2006 ,pp87). With students you can explore structured analytical images. They can have an image and student must label the image accordingly. Students need to learn what a structured analytical image is especially if its an image that has part whole because it gives specific information about the image. Each structured image is labeled for example it has a structured image of the skeleton and then a bone and then the skull. In terms of the human body see above for example, structured images show specific body parts that make up the human body. Rather then just naming each part, they actually show each part and where it belongs and how it looks like, so the image is explicit in terms of how analytical it is. Structured analytical exhaustive. Kress and van leeuwen 2006 pp 88 discuss that an analytical image can be either exhaustive or inclusive, exhaustive is when the possessive attribute takes up the space in the carrier, but in our case it’s an inclusive. Inclusive analytical as kress and van leeuwen, 2006 pp, 97 explain that is, they can show us only some of the parts of the whole image, leaving much spaces and blank spaces. It has some part with in the whole images which are embedded. In conclusion images are really important for students, it helps them understand the text they are reading, especially if they are ESL students or students that don’t know how to read. Image help students decode, describe and write information that is accurate and logic.  ||
