Focus
• What exactly do you want to teach?• What is the focus of the lesson, the image, the
text, the presentation?• What do you want your students to know at
the end of the session? The presentation?• Is your message clear at the start?• What can you leave out?

Frame• What is your angle?• Are you focussing on detail and complexity or
is it a general overview and contextualisation?• Is it inclusive?• Where are the boundaries for today?• Where does this lesson fit in with the rest of
your narrative?

Image
• Are your images inclusive?• Do you want your images to teach a subtext?• Are the images crystal clear?• What kind of atmosphere are you setting?• Are your images able to contribute to visual
literacy?

Word
• What register are you using and why?• Are you using words which will convey
meaning to students?• Do you need to include clarification of terms?• Are you preventing misconceptions?• Are you captioning when and where you can?

Flow
• Are you showing how one thing leads to another?
• Are you showing how this connects to prior knowledge, life, the world, other subjects?
• Have you explained which part of the picture you are in at the moment and where that can lead?
• Are you making connections with what you have taught and what comes next?
