How should I approach the individual oral B photo response?

There are four aspects to consider when structuring your response; moving from the most basic level of description, to your personal interpretation. First, consider the situation, 'la situación'. What is happing? 'Qué está pasando?', What is the location? 'Cuál es el lugar donde se tomó la foto?'.Next, the people, 'el tipo de personas'. (depending on which core topic the photo is related to, people will almost always be a feature of the photo). First you will engage with basic description; what they are wearing, where they are situated in the photo, but then it will be important to begin the interpretative aspect of the photo description. You might want to conjecture as to the relation between the people in the photo; the relación entre ellos (amistad, parentesco, etc), how they might be feeling and your reasons for this interpretation; el estado de ánimo de esas personas y la razón para ese estado de ánimo.  We then move onto the more difficult section of the photo description, which is crucial to a high grade in IB. You must come up with an idea of what the overall message the photo is conveying; this is demonstrative of the interdisciplinary nature of the IB course, as understand the role of purpose and intention in creating images is a concept you are likely to come across in TOK. The photo will come with a caption; a good way in to considering the meaning of the photo is to consider the relation between the title and what is occurring in the photo, la relación entre el título y lo que está pasando en la foto. You could also mention the intended audience of the photo, el receptor de esa foto. The message of the photo will be related to one of your core topics and you should make sure to identify the key societal issue that this photo relates to. The final section should be about your personal reaction to the photo; el efecto que te produce el foto (sorpresa, miedo, repulsión, indiferencia, etc), y la razón por la que te hace sentir así - and also your reaction to the core topic theme that it is related to; tu punto de vista sobre el tema y razones.
