As shown in the picture, a woman is recording a video with a producer who is helping her with the process. The woman is wearing a bamboo hat, light blue shirts, black stockings and slippers. The producer is wearing nothing but grey t-shirts and black pants with headphones on. On her left side, we can see another bamboo hat and a book that seems to be a textbook. I believe they are making a video or going live to introduce or promote the stuff next to her.

This picter show us that she is making a video for youtube or something else and i see the guy is teking a vidoe for her channel i see a chromebook front of her maybe they have youtube channel together.

In this picture, I believe that the woman/teacher is either recording a video or explaining her students online about agriculture. It could also be an interview regarding their country's agriculture. The woman is guided by the man who seems to be checking the woman's audio for the recording or interview.
Gustavo (Brasil)
I think there is an interview going on. Probably the subject is about local community. I am not sure, but I believe they do not have many resources.
Paloma (Brazil)
In this picture, I think there is a journalist or something similar, and there are making a video about the medicinal plants. I think this country is Vietna, or other asian country.
Yuting (Taiwano)
In this picture, I think it is in underdeveloped area. Luckily the man and woman get some information equipment. They are recording videos to let people who want learning but no money can study can learn. The woman are teaching and the man are recording. After finishing the video, they will share the video on the internet and let people can watch for free. They want everyone in the world can learn and quality education can implement in the world.

After reading the article I now understand the meaning behind the picture and the real struggles that Indonesians have went through during the pandemics. Due to the lack of signal students aren’t able to fully have their educations. Since most schools are closed students have to take online classes but how can they with no signals. Some students have to climb trees and work on the road just to get a little bit of signals to get their class done
Rocelys Crizanto (MSHS, The Bronx)
After reading this article, I see the struggles of the Indonesian civilization. Students over there lack education or they aren't getting any education at all. It sucks that the urban areas aren't struggling as much as the rural areas are. Cell signals are very poor which forces students to travel long ways or climb very tall trees just to get a signal to join class and download assignments. Also, if they can't do that they have to wait for their parents to get home to download an assignment because there is only 1 phone shared among families. This is what Indonesian students have to deal with until the pandemic is over or until more cell towers are able to be put up in 2022.
Edwina (MSHS, Bronx)
@Rocelys Crizanto I agree that the struggles that they have to go through is real. The fact that they have to do the most for classes and at the end of the day don’t get much work done is devastating. I wonder how disturbed they must be feeling. I feel annoyed and stressed taking my online classes so imagine them having to go above and beyond to even have to find signal to take class.
Edwina (MSHS, Bronx)
In this picture it looks like the lady is having an interview. I say this because of the camera, the microphone, the laptop and the gesture that both the man and the woman have. However something is wrong because the computer is off.
Mayra (MSHS,Bronx)
After reading the passage it says that there was an issue with having internet access in Indonesia which cause the student to lack education. Having this the teachers and students are not able to work in their educational environment. Even though the higher society would not have this issue, unlike the lower society who have to face this difficulty. The government is not doing enough to help them. Although the ministry Mr.Nadiem would gather funds to help out the lower class to keep with their education. But until then the kids would still have to struggle with internet access and lack of technology.
Victor (MSHS, The Bronx)
After reading the article i now see that there are some supplies that we have that other kids dont. It serves as message. Appreciate what we have because others arent so lucky. Kids in Indonesia have to literally climb obstacles to get what we have. Its sad to see that we live in a world that constantly disregards inequality.
Rocelys Crizanto (MSHS, The Bronx)
@Victor I definitely agree with you. Here in the United States we have internet access, our schools gave us iPads and laptops, and we are able to tune into our live streams whenever we have class. We don't have to travel anywhere just to get cell signal. As a prosperous country we should help Indonesia out.
Amadou (MSHS)
After reading the article, i have realized that not every child is privileged to have easy access to education. even though people all over the world are leaning towards using technology for learning, not all the children are able to get access to good internet or the right gadgets especially in Indonesia. It is sad and heartbreaking to see what this children have to deal with in order to get basic education.
Amadou (MSHS)
After reading the article, I have realized how most of the children in the world are privileged to get a good education without having to struggle unlike those in Indonesia. They do not have access to good and stable internet or the right gadgets in order to study online. It is terribly sad to see what these children have to go through in order to get the basic education that every child has a right to.

Kwabena Tanoh (MSHS, The Bronx)
After reading this article, I realized how privileged all of us in this country are to have such widespread access to education. Many stunts and parents struggle to buy devices and find signal in Indonesia, while here we are given devices and have strong signal in most areas. It's terribly sad to see what these students have to deal with on a daily basis.
Melanie (MSHS, The Bronx)
After reading this article, I realized how lucky a lot us here are to have a lot of access to education. In Indonesia a lot of stunts and parents struggle to buy devices and find signal, while here we get devices given to us and good signal In most places. Its devastating to see what these students have to go through everyday.
Victor (MSHS, The Bronx)
@Melanie I completely agree with you. We are very lucky and fortunate to have access to the internet and an education. I dont think it is fair that a lot of kids have to go through the struggle of having to get internet or even access devices.
Melanie (MSHS, The Bronx)
It looks like the women is getting interviewed by the man, she seems to be talking about something. By the way the man has the camera that is faced towards the woman and the computer set up, as well as the microphone the lady has in her hands, It makes me believe it is some sort of interview. I can also see the background location which seems to be in a country in Asia.
Kwabena Tanoh (MSHS, The Bronx)
@Melanie Seeing your response it makes sense why you would think she is getting interviewed considering a man is behind the camera. I initially thought it was a cameraman but an interview makes more sense.
Edwina (MSHS, Bronx)
@Melanie I agree it does look like the lady is getting interview. Now that you mentioned it i do noticed that this image takes place in Asia. The gesture of how everything is placed in the image shows that there is a interview going on.
Luz Casiano (MSHS, The Bronx)
After reading the article, this left me dismayed because it shows the differences between students in NYC and students in Indonesia. Students in Indonesia are experiencing so many difficulties because of a lack of cell service and devices. They have to walk miles to Kenalan, climb trees, or work on the roads to get strong internet connections. Furthermore, some teachers would go to these students' homes to have small group lessons because some can not afford phones. In this photograph, the teacher is recording a video so her students can watch it online. Many teachers like her are dedicated to helping students in these difficult times.
Amadou (MSHS)
@Luz Casiano A lot of children do not have the privilege of getting good education especially those in Indonesia. They have to have access to good internet and good gadgets for learning especially right now during the pandemic. The teacher in the picture is doing a great job by recording a video for her learners.

Amadou (MSHS)
@Kayla Velasquez Not all children are privileged to get proper basic education especially those in Indonesia. they have to struggle to get good internet and good gadgets so that they get an education. The woman in the picture is a teacher who is trying to recorded lesson for her students.
Saniya (MSHS, The Bronx)
After reading this article, I learned that this woman is filming a video for her students. I also learned that this picture takes place in Indonesia and not every student has the best service. I realized that I, as a student living in New York, where i have a better connection and the technology to do my work, should never take anything for granted because there are some dedicated students who are missing out because they don't have the right supplies or technology.
Luz Casiano (MSHS, The Bronx)
@Saniya I fully agree with your comment because many students who have access to the internet and devices take these for granted when poorer countries like Indonesia students who want to learn and take their education seriously do not have the support. Living in New York, students are fortunate enough to get everything and more help while in Indonesia teachers have to extra steps to help these children that are at home. In addition, after reading the article, hopefully, the government and the company Telkomsel can produce more devices and help with the internet in the upcoming year since many are losing education.
Kwabena Tanoh (MSHS, The Bronx)
I figured she was recording something for a group of people this observation makes sense. initially i thought she was a public figure. Considering there is a pandemic and school is online this comment makes sense. Now that I read this comment the picture makes sense.
Ariannie Sosa (MSHS , the bronx)
What I have learned after reading this article is that everything isn't easy for everybody in the world. Some internet connections aren't the best for students. After reading this article I figured out the woman is filming a class for her students.
Saniya (MSHS, The Bronx)
@Ariannie Sosa I agree with you fully. When I first looked at the picture, I didn't think much of it but a teacher teaching a lesson for her students. However, I realized that this pandemic has been bad for all of us, some worse than others. it really puts the phrase "don't take anything for granted" into perspective
Mayra (MSHS,Bronx)
In this picture, the woman would be commenting on something while the man is filming her. In this image, it seems that the woman is giving an interview in the backyard of their house since there are trees behind them. Also in the image, It seems like the man is observing the way that the woman is speaking this picture I see that there is a woman that seems to be interviewing or commenting on something. I can also see a man that seems to be filming her and listening to what she is saying. In addition, I can see that there is a computer and a smartphone next to the man. I can find a book that is animated. I can also find a hat that looks very interesting. In addition, I find that there is a cable plunger.
Rocelys Crizanto (MSHS, The Bronx)
In this picture there is a teacher making a video for her students. This is because in Indonesia many students face the hardship of no internet access for class. So because of this she is helping out her class by making a video instead of streaming her class. I see an educational book beside the teacher. I also see a man with a camera recording the woman while she is holding a mic and talking. Because of the global pandemic and the negative impact it has had on everyone the teacher is trying her best to help the students out. It also common that many third world countries face troubles of internet access.
Ariannie Sosa (MSHS , the bronx)
@Rocelys Crizanto I agree I with you Rocelys. Everybody had a very negative impact with the pandemic . Students had very bad trouble with internet success .
Melanie (MSHS, The Bronx)
@Rocelys Crizanto I agree, many people struggled with the pandemic especially students, its sad that a lot of these students can't learn in a proper environment the way they should, instead their stressed worrying about the signal and cost for the devices which is something that they shouldn't have to stress about.
Luz Casiano (MSHS, The Bronx)
In the photograph, I think she could be teaching class remotely since the woman is holding a microphone, and beside her are books that seem to be children's workbooks. She is looking at the computer while talking into the mic. In addition, there is a man that could be her helper since he is looking at the computer screen with his headphone. Due to the sudden change in the world, she is trying to do anything to help the students.
Victor (MSHS, The Bronx)
In the image I see a woman holding a microphone sitting next to some sort of book. A man seems to be recording her with his camera and laptop. With the information given it would appear that maybe this is not interview but instead she is teaching an online class.
Mayra (MSHS,Bronx)
@Victor I can see why you might say that she is teaching since she seems to have a book of a child behind her. This makes it seem that she is teaching and not giving an interview.
Saniya (MSHS, The Bronx)
I see a woman holding a microphone sitting next to a book being held up by what seems to be a hat. In front of her is a man sitting behind a small table with a laptop and a tripod to his right. because of this, I believe the woman is a teacher teaching her online class about a book while the man is helping her make sure everything is working fine.
Victor (MSHS, The Bronx)
@Saniya At first it seemed as if the lady was being interviewed but looking over and reading your comment i am certain that you are correct. The lady might in fact be teaching one of her online classes.
Luz Casiano (MSHS, The Bronx)
@Saniya I agree with your observation and the statement you made about remote learning. I think the woman is teaching the class because she has books besides her to teach the class and it looking at the back of the computer. There is a lot of equipment besides the man as well so I agree with that.She could be doing a prerecord video since she is in an area where there is a lot of trees, mountains, and plants. Furthermore, these
Ariannie Sosa (MSHS , the bronx)
In this picture what I think is going is a lady promoting the book thats next to her .Than theres a guy thats recording her and he's looking at threw the computer . In this photograph has a interesting and vibrant background .
Brianna (KY)
I notice that it looks like they are doing a interview for the news about a product that is sitting beside her
Ariel (KY)
in the picture I see that the lady is a reporter on the news or she is getting interviewed by the man
SADAREION P (SCHOOL)
IT LOOKS LIKE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THE NEWS
Dylan (Nj)
the teacher being recorded and giving online lessons. I am also able to tell that many of the students are being affected by the pandemic allowing them not to have the proper education that they need. Im able to tell this because it looks like she is filming a class outside for others to learn from.
Saniya (MSHS, The Bronx)
@Dylan I definitely agree with your statement. I didn't think beyond the fact that she was just teaching a class via zoom or google meets etc. however I never took into account that many students could be affected by the pandemic which is taking away from them getting the proper education that they need.
Rocelys Crizanto (MSHS, The Bronx)
@Dylan I agree with you. Many teachers are doing what they can to help their students because of the effect the pandemic has had. Some students are also really struggling with online school cause it may be too hard for them. And having trouble with internet can just make troubles worse.
Kwabena Tanoh (MSHS, The Bronx)
@Saniya I completely agree with you. Because of the pandemic's effect, many teachers are doing what they can to assist their students. Some students are also having difficulty with online school because it is too difficult for them. And having problems with the internet can exacerbate problems.
Cesar (Ohio)
it looks like people filming a class.
Jon (Cleveland Ohio)
It looks like some people filming something.
Dylan (Nj)
I agree I think he is filming so she is able to have a lesson for the kids that don't have a proper education
Yariel Castellanos (Jersey)
In this picture you can see the women doing the news or an interview or a weather report. But the picture you can also see the vibrant background. The 2 people are sticking out more because they are closer to the camera.
Nathaniel Carrero kennedy (Chicago)
what i see going on is that there's a girl doing a weather report from somewhere in the other side of the world from where im at. You could see a guy recording her as she speaks. you could see a computer , a kids book next to the weather girl and a foreign type of hat.
Hope AOSE (Academy of Saint Elizabeth)
In this photo, I see a woman who is recording or streaming a video. She has a microphone and is speaking. There is also a man behind the camera by a computer connected to the camera. The man is also wearing headphones, possibly making sure the audio from the mic is being recorded. There are some kid's books near the lady, so maybe she is teaching a class for young children.
Sharon (Emerson 2nd grade)
The camera man is filming in Hawaii: I see mist so I think there is a beach. There is a woman with a mic (maybe a singer?) and a man filming a music video. The girl is wearing shoes and the man is not. I think the woman is doing a weather report. The man is filming her, and she is holding a mic. I think they are in Hawaii because some people do not wear shoes in Hawaii. He has a laptop in front of him and a camera. She has something by her: a backpack. She is under what keeps you in the shade, but it’s made from sticks. I think the girl is a teacher and she’s filming school for the kids. Last time (NY Times) we saw girls on the street doing school, so maybe this is also a different kind of school. I think the man is going to take a picture of news. I think they’re doing an interview in Hawaii because of the mic. I think they’re on a big island on Hawaii because I see palm trees, filming weather. I think people are learning one by one, staying six feet apart (because of COVID). I think she is announcing a case of coronavirus (breaking news about the coronavirus. I think she is filming a read aloud because I see a book next to her.
John kurysz (Chicago)
It looks that a man and a woman are recording a show or like a class and if u look deeper you can see some children's books and the man who is recording has no shoes on so they may be less fortunate but they still want to help kids learn or to stay focused
Ariannie Sosa (MSHS , the bronx)
@John kurysz I agree that it looks like that they are doing remote learning . But to me it looked like they were promoting a new book that came out . Or making advertisement for her hat and different things .
John kurysz (Chicago)
I see a man and a woman in what looks to be asia and they are recording a show/program and if u look closely you can see that there are children’s books next to her and if u look even harder you can see that the man recording isnt even wearing shoes and he still chose to help other people before himself
John kurysz (Chicago)
What i see in this picture is a man and a women recording a class/show/program possibly gor kids because if you look closer there is a children’s book and if u look even closer they dont have shoes on thats how much they would rather make children happy then trying to make themselves do better
salena moreno (kennedy highschol)
it looks like the woman is getting recorded saying something. i think it might be her reading a childs book or something but i cant really tell. the man looks very either bored or focused. it looks like they are probably in a different country. the guy has no shoes on and she just has sandals. she has an extra hat like the one she is wearing so maybe she is advertising that hat.
Hope AOSE (Academy of Saint Elizabeth)
@salena moreno I hadn't thought that she could be advertising the hat, but I agree that she could be.
Sophia Minerva (Wekiva Highschool)
The picture looks like the man is recording the woman, and the woman has the laptop and microphone, trying to record information audibly and visually. I think this because it shows the man squatting with the recording tool, and it shows the woman with the laptop and holding the microphone. I also believe that she’s the one being recorded because she is in a much better outfit then the man, who is wearing the bare minimum, which could be hinting towards her being part of a broadcast.
Robel (Bezu)
in the pic it looks like they are doing some sort of interview because they have the mic and a laptop to record they are most likely talking about the province they live in or maybe the global pandemic
Fatima Hmada (Philadelphia, PA)
A man is filming a woman and has his laptop out along with a computer to record her. Next to her is a hat and a picture book. She is holding a microphone and they are outside. She's dressed in a sun hat, brown pants, button down and shoes. The man behind the laptop is dressed casually and wearing no shoes. The area they are in is filled with trees and in the distance I can see mountain ranges. It appears that she is either being interviewed or a newscaster though I am unsure what she's being interviewed for. Perhaps it's about the book next to her or the landscape behind her.
katelynn (montpilier high school)
maybe she is at local news on the street
Wubishet Taye (Philadelphia, PA)
I can see two humans, one is talking on the mic while the other is recording her. I see a computer, a mic, a phone, and a tripod. It seems like the lady is talking about the environment based on the book that is located towards the left side of the picture. The lady is wearing a hat and socks with sandals. They are surrounded by plants and wooden gates that are broken. I think they live somewhere foreign(somewhere in Asia) and the lady looks like she is promoting a book because there are two books located in the picture right next to the lady. It looks like the guy is interviewing her or they are working together to talk about either the environment or a book.
Yvette Gutierrez (John F. Kennedy High School)
It seems as if the setting is took place somewhere in Asia. It also seems as if the guy with the camera and laptop is interviewing the girl or maybe something for a project or new program. It also looks like this took place on some type of island or hawaiian setting. The lady is also wearing a colorful and has a children’s book next to her. She can also be a teacher doing online school due to corona.
Wubishet Taye (Philadelphia, PA)
@Yvette Gutierrez Hi Yvette I agree with you, I was conflicted on exactly what they were doing and where they were located. Based on the children's books, I concluded that they are either promoting a book or talking about the environment.
Anthony Flores (Kennedy high school)
in the photo, there are two people, one posing and the other next to a tripod and a laptop. I think that they're doing photography or modeling or some filmography.
Michael.K (Kitchener On)
I think this is someone promoting a new book. The cover of the book looks like it's a kid book. It looks like there somewhere in Asia. That then makes me believe it's something about saving the forest.
Hope AOSE (Academy of Saint Elizabeth)
@Michael.K I hadn't thought of the book being the lady's book that she is promoting, good thought.
Lori Perez Kennedy HS (Chicago, Il Nov. 23)
I think that they are interviewing a local area for a news station. It could also be a weather newscaster reporting the weather on the island. I see a woman with a microphone sitting down talking. I also see a man recording her on his laptop and talking to her. Maybe he is asking her questions that relate to the news story.
KEMARI (poughkeepsie)
I think it is a teacher recording a class or about to read a book for a student doing online learning somewhere .I see a kids books, laptop, phone stand, microphone she look to be talking into microphone. Lady wearing a colorful straw hat that student may of made and think this in a place like the pacific island.
Kate K. (Ontario)
I think that a teacher is recording classes or about to read a story for children doing online learning in somewhere like the or a Pacific Island. I think this because I see a children's book, and two colourful hats, on which the teacher is wearing, which might have been a craft that her students did before the schools have shut down. I believe it is for online learning because the lady in the picture has a microphone and is being recorded, and we know many schools have been shut down due to coronavirus restrictions. It looks like a Pacific island because of the water in the background and the palm trees.
KEMARI (poughkeepsie)
@Kate K. I thought that exact same thing too but they are not wearing any masks but i guest I was right about it being in the pacific island I agree with your whole statement
Melanie (MSHS, The Bronx)
@Kate K. I agree and think that she is reading something to children as well. I noticed the book in the background which gave some kind of hint that reading was going to be involved, I think it can also be because of covid since it had a big impact on the world with schools. It also seems really nice what she is doing because many kids these days can't get access to education the same way others can.
Dadrian Sanchez (John F. Kennedy)
I think in this picture there are reporters who are interviewing or sponsoring books or a book that way it can be sold to people around the region/continent/world. As u can see there are also things that have to be required that they as well have. I see that they have a camera, tripod, computer, microphone and etc.
Dadrian Sanchez (John F. Kennedy)
I think in this photo I see 2 people I think these 2 people are 1 cameraman and a reporter. It also looks like there are books near the reporter. The reporter seems to be talking or sponsoring these books in an interview. It looks like they have equipment that they also need: Camera, tripod, computer, microphone, and etc.
Trang (Vietnam)
I think that they are reporting/making a video about teaching English for students in a rural area in Vietnam, based on: - Their clothes type and color, which are very basic and quite popular in the rural of Vietnam - The conical hat (Which is "nΓ³n lΓ‘" in Vietnamese") next to the girl has some words ending with "er", which is uncommon for Vietnamese. I think it is English as this is the most popular second language taught in VN - The color of the book and her hat's decoration are quite child-style - It is not for national tv news, as their equipments are quite basic (microphone connected with a laptop and a cellphone)
Division 5 (Victoria, BC)
It looks like the people are doing an interview. Maybe they are talking about learning in general and children's books specifically. Perhaps they are speaking about schools.
TT (Barcelona)
The woman is a teacher and she is streaming an online class because students can't attend the school. There is a lockdown caused by coronavirus. We think that maybe it is in Camboya. She has two teaching books for kids, maybe one is the same as the students have at home so, they can follow the class and homework activities.
Jesse S (Kennedy Hs. Chicago)
In this picture, it looks like there is a lady sitting down and she is recording something or filming or she could be on the news reporting something. Next to them there is a table and on table there is a camera and a computer so it’s probably filming. There is man next to women and guy has headphones in so he can understand the lady for clearly.
Ms. Johnson's Grade 7/8 Class (Saskatchewan, Canada)
We think that this might take place in South America or Asia. We think that she might be filming a news report about the weather because it is super foggy. We also thought that she may be filming a video about her book or her culture.
Trending Topic ESL Class team 1 (Barcelona, Spain)
Telling stories around the world. An Asian teacher is explaining a story live in class she is streaming for children who can’t come because nowadays there is no need to go to class. This case shows that just with a smartphone and a computer you can spread your knowledge around the world.
5th class (Dublin)
Pod 1: She is doing an interview about a book that she read. Pod 2: She is doing an interview. Pod 3: She is doing a documentary about the Amazon Rainforest. Pod 4: A new reporter is having a conversation with a man in the Philopenas. Pod 5: The man is recording a girl for a talk show. Pod 6: She is doing an interview for a weather forecast.
Grade 5/6 (Ontario)
Our class thinks it is a photo of people recording and filming a podcast about the woman's new book.
giuliana mostacchio (kennedy high school chicago)
Theres a man and woman, it looks like an interview maybe. The woman is holding a microphone. The man is recording, and he has a laptop open. The lady has books or something sitting next to her, so that might be what the interview is about.
William Zhu (Neptune)
In the picture, two Asia people are taking a video in the place at the middle of a rainforest. The book beside the woman help us to make prediction that they are making a video to introduce a book for children. Two people looks very poor, the man who taking the video didn't wearing shoes, but they have some fancy equipment like self phone, computer, and Microphone.
AB (NSW, Australia)
i think that it is a news reporter, they are describing where they are and talking about the weather.
Miso (China)
It looks like the man is interviewing the woman. They could possibly be talking about education problems or something like that. I say this because she has a book beside her and it looks like a children's book so she could possibly be advertising it, explaining what the book is, or asking for donations to help with the education system. I can also see the hats they're wearing and that is commonly found in Vietnam so they are most likely somewhere near Vietnam and in a tropical place.
Be (njamin)
In the photo, a bare footed, casually dressed old man is filming a woman with a blue shirt. I would assume the woman is being interviewed or is proposing her thoughts to her audiences as she has a microphone and has textbooks set up beside her. I would say this photo was taken in East-Southern Asia.
Catherine (China)
In this picture, a woman is being interviewed or filmed by a man with a microphone, smartphone, and computer. I think this picture was taken somewhere in Asia because of clothes, trees, and people. It seems the woman is filming an educational video because next to the woman, there is a book for children.
Kate (China)
There are a woman and a man, look like interviewing something. She is holding a microphone, and the man is taking a video with his phone. The content of the interview will be about the books or education because there are some books beside the woman. This picture could be taken in South East Asia. Their costumes, especially a hat which is the woman wearing reminds me Vietnam.
Amya C (kennedy H.S.) (Chicago , IL)
What I think is going on in this Picture is a podcast or a local news getting shared .
Mindy (China)
A woman is holding a mike and there is a computer and camera (phone) in front of her. From this we can predict that a woman is filming a video. There is a children book next to her so maybe, she is promoting or introducing about that book. The man who is in from of her is probably helping her with filming and monitoring for her. Both of them are wearing shorts and from this, we can predict that the season of that country is summer.
Rachel (China)
In this picture, they seem to have an interview about children's books on the top of the mountain in Asia (SouthWest). The old lady is holding the mike beside the children's book and the old man is filming her with a laptop and phone. The reason why I think they are in Asia is that she is wearing a hat which is usually worn by South West Asians like Vietnamese.
Isabella C (Kennedy HS) (Chicago)
In this picture a lady is sitting on the ground, and it looks like she's filming something maybe she's doing a news report. On the table is a there's a laptop, and next to the table is a camera. There is a man sitting on the ground with headphones listening to what she is saying.
Armindo and Julia (Brazil)
I think this is an interview and she is talking about the river's problems, because this is a very common problem in the recent years.
AB (NSW, Australia)
@Armindo and Julia interesting idea but I think they are telling us the weather.
Winston (San Jose CA)
It looks like a video shoot. The speaker sitting on the ledge is about to promote maybe a book she has written, or to promote tourism to their region. They seem to be in a seaside possible a remote island. The man in the background has set up his camera and laptop to post the edit and possibly post the video online. The lady who is being filmed has traditional had on and has a second hat next to a book besides her. We suspect she is a writer, or promoter of some sort. They are most likely in a tropical area, hence the stylish hat and the sandals the lady has on.
A Malik (Woodbridge, Ontario)
I think this girl is making a video about her reading a book because she has a microphone and she has a book to her right and I think she is a teacher or she is just making the video for education video, this looks like it is in South East Asia.
Andrew (Seattle, Washington)
I think that this picture is one that takes place in South East Asia looking at the climate and the people. With the more forested background, it would seem that the setting is rural. With a camera, microphone, and a laptop, the people in the picture look like they are recording something. I am thinking because of the books she might be a teacher recording a lesson for her students or is just making an educational video for children to watch.
A Malik (Woodbridge, Ontario)
@Andrew I also agree with you
J.Khan (woodbridge)
@Andrew I agree with the fact that the 2 people in the picture are taping something.
Tarnvir (Woodbridge, Ontario)
I think that in this picture the woman is making a video for some kind of project. This is because there is a mini volcano which makes me think it's an experiment.
Josiah Hughes (Ontario Canada)
Obviously, someone is recording something due to the mic, tripod, etc. It could possibly be someone making an advertisement, thought these people look like regular citizens, and not a television company. The setting is in southeast Asia. I know this because of the climate, fashions, trees, and people. People make videos on almost everything, so they could be talking about anything, but my guess is that the are advertising or recommending the items that are next to the sitting lady.
Tarnvir (Woodbridge, Ontario)
@Josiah Hughes Yes I agree with you because why would there be a tripod if she isn't making a video?
Hayat.W (canada)
@Josiah Hughes Yeah I agree it has to be something of a video because of the tripod.
Tommy (China)
The reason why I think they are in Southeast Asia is because the venue for this photo with their costumes has reminded me of Vietnam or Indonesia. I think they are volunteers who want to make money for children to get an education. The reason I think is that there are textbooks next to women and it seems that men and women are campaigning for funds to help children get an education.
Big (Man)
A man is filming a woman in presumably Indonesia, as the text on the book reads "save the living creatures" in Indonesian. We can assume their relationship is closer than merely professional due to them wearing the same clothes. It likely takes place in a public park due to a third person being visible in the top right, and this third person wearing very casual clothes compared to the two main subjects.
G5P! (Paris)
The area looks like tropical Asia. I think they used trash bags to carry dead plants and then regrow them. It looks they have a husband or a gardener helping the plants. I noticed the Asian beach hat. I noticed the sand has plants, so I think the sand plants have gone through the same process as the regular plants. Also it looks like they are making some sort of educational language video for people who want to learn different languages.
Elias Carrillo (Kennedy HIgh School)
In the picture there is a man and a woman, and it looks like he's recording her, maybe for a vlog. They are surrounded by plants, and the woman has two books next to her, perhaps for teaching about plants. There is another hat next to her, like the one she's wearing these might be used for working outside. Also, there's a bunch of bags with plants inside of them. Maybe, the gardening season is over and she's talking about harvesting whatever she had planted.
Emily Rodriguez(JFK HS) (chicago)
they're making a video about a book for children because the lady is holding a microphone and the guy is recording her with the camera and computer. Just like news reporters do. The woman is promoting her book.
Kai Saveliev (Richmond, Canada)
The nature looks like China or Vietnam. I see specific type of trees and plants. A woman is presenting and a man is recording a video. I also see a children’s book and an Asian conical hat. On the right side there is a bookshelf. I think people are making a learning video for children.
Samantha A (Kennedy) (Chicago)
In this picture I see a lady sitting on the ground. It looks like she's holding a microphone in her hand. There's a man in front of her sitting on the ground. It looks like he's filming her. There's a table right next to the man and on the table there's a lap top. It looks like they could be filming an educational video.
K.s (Woodbridge,Ontario)
I think that the people in the photo are recording a commercial. I think this because there is a camera recording the girl and she has a microphone in her hand. I also think that they are making a commercial for a book. This is because in the photo there is a book right beside the girl.
hailey (new york)
In this picture, a lady and man are in an interview. During this interview. This picture takes place in a foreign county. while the interview takes place there was some type of powerful storm that ruined villages and homes. I say this because in the background of the picture the structures are destroyed and not together, the sky is dark.
Jacob (Boston)
I think this is the women's first time making a video (of a speech or singing a song because she has a microphone) and she looks nervous. It looks like they are somewhere in Asia in a run down area, maybe a site to a new house. The guy taking the livestream is a little anxious or nervous for what people will think of the video, which is why his hands are up to his face.
Benny (Boston)
It looks like these people are from Asia. It looks like the woman is recording a video. Maybe something educational, because I see kids books next to her. It looks the man is holding his nose, maybe because it smells, or because he is focusing or is bored of video taping the woman.
serena (canada)
I think that they are shooting a video and the woman is supposed to sing for the video.
khaja (canadaa)
In this picture a lady is sitting on the ground, and it looks like she's filming something. On a table is a there's a laptop, and next to the table is a camera. The lady is holding a microphone while a man is sitting on the other side of the camera watching her. I think she's filming something educational because there are books next to her.
Miss Bitterman's Class (Montana)
@khaja At first, we thought you were wrong about there being a camera because we couldn't see it. We just saw the camera stand, but then we looked again and we saw an iPhone on that camera stand. The man must be using his iPhone as a camera. Did you see the hole in the background and all of the plants and paints? Did you notice the plug? So, if the plug is right there, they must be by a house or a store or a garden house or something.
Riley Hite (Goochland, Va)
These people are filming an educational video. I came to this conclusion due to the book and all of the video equipment. They are in Asia.
K.D (goochland High school)
I think they are making an educational video or a video about a book she wrote because of the book and hats that look as if they are children's paintings.
jayce (goochland)
In this picture are recording a video because their a microphone and a camera stand set up. I also think they are advertising a product because of the book and stuff that is sitting next to her on the ledge.
Mr. Nash's D1B4 Group (Virginia)
We think she is teaching virtually to an elementary class, somewhere in the Philippines. We think this because, they look Asian, she has children books in the background, the computer/ phone set up and the microphone. Also, we think they are in a garden because we see bags of soil and pots.
nick (virginia)
i think that the lady is being interviewed by the man. i think this is live since she has a microphone and i think she is being interviewed since the man has a camera and laptop. i think she is either reading a book to a class or maybe teaching a class of younger kids since there is a book.
Rian Evans (Goochland High School)
it looks like a lady is trying to broadcast something. next to her is what looks like a children's book and a hat with paintings on it. Maybe this is a young author reading to kids that may be watching on a broadcast.
Charlie Alston (Goochland High School)
In this picture it seems a lady is reporting or just making a video in a little village. My reasoning is a man is sitting with a laptop and a camera pointed towards her. It looks as it is being filmed in a old village
Joanne Mammola (SJB West Islip, NY)
Our collaborative opinion is that the setting is Asia. The two people are filming an educational/informational video using a children's' book. The area behind her is full of vegetation. The structure behind the woman is damaged from a possible storm.
Riley Hite (Goochland, Va)
@Joanne Mammola I agree with your post. You explained this image well and saw the image as I did.
Amelia S (Kennedy Highschool) (Chicago)
In this picture a lady is sitting on the ground, and it looks like she's filming something. On a table is a there's a laptop, and next to the table is a camera. The lady is holding a microphone while a man is sitting on the other side of the camera watching her. I think she's filming something educational because there are books next to her.
jayce (goochland)
@Amelia S (Kennedy Highschool) I thought the books were some type of product she was trying to sell but that is also a good comment
S.S (Woodbridge, Ontario)
I believe that this is a educational video as there is children books on the left with someone recording the person. I think the country could be in Indochina as the people and the environment do match Indochina.
G.D (Woodbridge, Ontario)
I think that in this picture the two people are recording a video. I believe this because there is a guy with a camera stand, camera, and laptop facing towards the woman with a microphone. This may also be a news report because the woman is holding a microphone, and from my background knowledge most news reporter's use a microphone. This is what I personally think is going on in the picture.
Aishna G (Woodbridge Ontario)
I think that this picture takes place in Asia. I think this because the hat she is wearing is very famous in Asia. The background looks like there had been a type of natural disaster and the people are new reporters that are explaining what had happened in the area.
Rahim (Woodbridge, Ontario)
I think that in this picture the two people are recording a video. I think this because the guy near the laptop has a camera stand, and the women is holding a microphone. Also, it might be a news report because the women is taking into the camera with the microphone. Finally, this is what I think is going on in this picture.
AC (Woodbridge Canada)
it looks like they are recording a commercial
Sawyer (SMS)
I think there was some kind of storm and she is telling everyone what happened
G.D (Woodbridge, Ontario)
@Sawyer I agree with your opinion on this picture. I personally think that this might actually be someone making a news report and telling everyone about what happened. Also because in the background you could see a wooden roof that fell off potentially due to a storm.
Rahim (Woodbridge, Ontario)
@Sawyer I personally agree with your opinion. I think that there was actually a storm, due to the wooden roof that fell off. Also, it does look like they're recording a news report, because of the camera and the women holding the microphone.
person (middle of nowhere)
Vincentia Orisa Ratih Prastiwir, a teacher, recorded a video for students to watch online.
AC (Woodbridge Canada)
@person ok honestly good theory
Alex C. (Virginia)
In this photo they are recording the author of the children's book talking about their book.
Christina Jensen (Goochland High School)
It looks like the man is recording an interview for this young woman. She has a book or poster next to her and i assume she's the one who has created it. In the background there are a bunch of plants so i figure it's where she is from or connected to the item she has created.
Ryan (Virginia)
I can see a microphone and a computer and a phone. I point those out because I think that those clues show us that this a news crew filming. Looking around the picture more I see that there are a lot of sticks held up by one another but I don't know what they do because it can't stop rain or give you shade. Also, it looks like she is wearing a hat that might be from there or just to block the sun. I see a bunch of garbage bags laying around, with what looks like dirt inside. These garbage bags might also be new trees that they are going to be planting around this area. The place looks cared for and looks beautiful.
Shakyla (Virginia)
It looks like an interview being filmed with maybe an author of a children's book or a teacher. The lady is holding a mic and there's a book with a colorful illustrated cover next to her. The man in front of her has a computer and a camera pointed towards her. It seems to be in East/Southeast Asia based on the environment around them.
Gintas (Virginia)
It looks like an interview or something like that. Also she has a book which she is probably talking about. The book looks like a children's book so the target audience here is probably for younger children.
Mr. Nash's D1B2 Group (Virginia)
We think this is some sort of live broadcast to inform people about what's going on in the area or possibly something to do with the hat she is wearing. We see the camera, the outlets, the powerstrip, microphone, and the computer charger that make us think that. Additionally, we noticed plants in bags, what looks like pottery, mountains in the background...we think this is in China or Vietnam, somewhere in Asia.
Gintas (Virginia)
It looks like an interview or something like that. Also there is a book to the left of her. The book looks like a children's book so the target audience is probably for younger children.
trevor (va)
This looks like a lady is getting an interview by a guy who is recording it all. It looks like she is talking about a book for kids. I see a book that looks like it is for kids and i can tell that it is an interview by all the equipment for recording. The background is an attention grabber.
Abigayle Hodges (Virginia)
When I first looked at the photo, I thought that it might have been a news report of sorts. However, then I took a closer look at various details in the photo. The two individuals in this photo are dressed in casual attire, and the man is recording using a cell phone. Which means that this isn't a news report. Secondly, there are (what appears to be) children's books next to the woman, and bags of soil to her left. That being said, based on the casual attire, the plants that appear ready to be sold, and the children's books, I believe that these two people are advertising for a fundraiser to purchase books for children.
Evie E. (VA)
In this picture, the woman seems to be in an interview or some sort of educational video. To her right, I see books (which look like children illustrations). Also the man in the picture seems to be monitoring the technology being used. The computer has a microphone that is connected to it, and is being used by the woman. They seem to be trying to capture a quality video due to the technology. Also I recognize the scenery in the picture. They are filming outside instead of a traditional studio.
Anthony Portal (Hall High School)
In this photo, what I was able to gather from looking at it was an Interview/ new story going on most likely focused more towards younger kids in elementary school type age based on the book, magazine, and hat to the left of the lady. Another thing that gave away the fact that this is an interview is the man to the right of the photo with a phone on a tripod, and his computer connected to it to make sure everything is being filmed properly. The lady also has a microphone in her hands, which is also connected to the computer. So even if there wasn't an interview going on, there would be a recording of sorts to capture the lady announcing a message.
Cohort 14 NRMS (Cape Cod)
Some sort of broadcast/interview. She has a book besides her that she maybe talking about.
Pedro A (Kennedy High School)
In this picture I see an interview going on. This interview is being filmed on a computer and phone. I see that the lady has a microphone in her hands. There's also a man behind the computer and phone with earbuds. I also see nature in the background.
Jason (South Korea)
This seems, to me at least, like some sort of educational video shooting. Based on the surrounding environment and hat sitting upon the woman's head, I would guess that this was taken somewhere in south-east asia. (Of course, because I have not spent too much time studying various cultures, I could be completely wrong.) One thing that I notice is that there seems to be a second hat right beside the woman. This could mean that she is shooting a video on a specific culture, or that she is expecting a guest. I feel there are too few people within the frame to accurately tell whether or not this was taken before or during the pandemic. Finally, I would like to note that the man taking the video is barefoot. I think that this implies that the man may not go to the city often, or that the area this man resides in does not have many paved roads. P.S. They do seem to have power, which does raise a few questions...
Ira (Gurugram, Haryana)
In the picture given above, I see a woman who is supposedly interviewing a man. They are surrounded by trees and saplings all around them. There are hills in the background which means that this picture was taken in a hilly region. This picture is not of current times as none of theme are not wearing masks or face shields.
Amy (South Korea)
I think a woman is introducing something. I think it is an Asian country. I think the man in front of the woman is filming her. I can find the sea in the back. I can find a lot of trees, too. There are also many things that look like small pots in the back. I don't think it's cold weather because of their clothes.
Franky (USA)
A family member..or NGO member.. may be a daughter to her under educated father.. explaining/ discussing a topic using a methodology for kindergarten. The tools used are modern technology like earbuds, video.. laptop..etc to enlighten him.. the look on his face plausibiliy shows admiration, which that generation will not show, but still wondering how it can help his harvest.. still proud if it is his daughter..
James (South Korea)
I think they're visiting a village in Vietnam because her hat looks like Vietnam's traditional hat. Also, she bought some hats and books from children because the picture on the hat is crudely drawn. Also, the book's cover looks like it's for kids.
Z.Ibrahimovic (South Korea)
This picture seems to show a scene of a female answering an interview using a microphone. Maybe the topic of the interview is introducing a book because I can see a book next to the woman. Then, the man looks like a video director because he is taking a video.
Grace (South Korea)
I think they are filming or shooting a video. This is because she is a personal broadcaster, like a Youtuber, and he looks like a person who works with her while filming and editing. It seems like she turned on LIVE to communicate with people when she came to a foreign country. But the fact that the laptop screen isn't on, it looks like the man is playing a prank on the woman. I think she doesn't know that. So, she's still talking to herself.
Isabella C (Kennedy HS) (Chicago)
I see two people outside filming something. The woman is holding this microphone that is connected to a bunch of wires that are plugged into something. I see that she has two books, which I think are children's books, she has two of the same hat. The guy is sitting down in a squatting position. He's wearing these little headphone ear pieces, and he's not wearing any shoes like the lady.
NSG (India)
woman in Vietnam is translating something for the man??
michael,D (kennedy HS)
I see two people. It looks like the man is recording the women who is speaking into the microphone. She could be teaching a class something since it looks like she has a book or poster next to her.
Nadia A. ( kennedy) (chicago)
It looks like that lady is a reporter and the guy is filming her because he has the equipment of what it seems to record the lady. It looks like this could have been filmed before the pandemic occured because they aren't wearing their masks.
Lorena F. (Kennedy H.S Chicago IL.)
I see two people and the first thing that came to mind was that maybe they're recording or like having some type of interview. Or also it looks like the lady is giving some type of lesson to students remotely. I assume this was before covid, because I don't see them wearing a mask.
andres (kennedy high school)
It looks like they're in the jungle. The lady is infront of the camera talking into a microphone, and the guy behind the computer is having the twitch.tv/livestream on the screen. They're probably talking about the cute view they got right there or they're talking about how covid is affecting the rainforest.
Natalia Z.(Kennedy H.S.) (Chicago IL)
I think in this picture the man and women are part of a show or news show and are remotely filming outside. She could be part of a segment because next to her is like a display of something she may intend to sell or show off. I say this because she has the camera and computer set up and she is holding a mic. she is also wearing a hat like the one in the display next to her. It looks like they are outside in their yard maybe. He is not wearing shoes so they may be at home in the backyard.
Josephina Nowotnik (John F. Kennedy)
It looks like a two people recording something. I would say this because they have two people, a computer, and a camera.
tristin kennedy highschool (chicago)
i think they are interviewing a litttle girl in this picture, i see black bags and roofs made out of sticks so maybe shes built that by herself, they might be interviewing about her life, and the books might be about her .
Christopher Arroyo (Kennedy) (Chicago)
It looks like they're setting up a footage, because those people have a microphone, laptop, and a camera. There's a book on the side next to the woman so I think they are reading out loud.
Jakob (jfk high school)
The first thing I notice is two people, one with a microphone and the other with a laptop and camera. What I believe is happening is that it's either some sort of podcast or it's a interview. It looks like it takes place in Thailand.
Brianna Carlin (Kennedy HS) (Chicago, IL)
In this image, there is a man and a woman. The woman is being recorded for possibly a news report because of the microphone she’s holding. It could also be for a school lesson hence the books on the side of her. They appear to be in a tropical(?) area. There’s lots of trees around.
julian f (Kennedy high school)
it seems to me that might be reporting something like in some sort of news format. because you have the girl with the mike and the guy who is probably the camrea man . the girl seems to be sitting next to something so maybe they are reporting on that for like a YouTube video.
Uriel (Chicago)
I first thing I notice it was two people recording a video for kids or a interview because i see her holding a microphone while the guy is recording her with a camera and a laptop. And it seems like this is taking place in somewhere tropical and above sea level, based on the clouds and fog in the background. The reason why I think that the lady might be recording a lesson is because in the past several months students across the globe have not been allowed to attend school due to the spread of Covid-19.
Miss Bitterman's Class (Montana)
We see plants and we see a hole that is shaped as a square. We think this is a newscast or a news report -- maybe a YouTube video. We think they are by a house or a store or maybe a car that has plug in to plug in all the plugs and stuff. It is probably by a plant house or something. We wonder why the guy is in bare feet and why there are things that look like paints in the background. We also wonder why there is a hole there. It is probably like a garden or something. We also wonder why they are having like a children's animal book where plants are and it's a little trashy there.
Nayeli Villanueva (Kennedy High School)
In this picture, I see a woman giving the newsreport with her microphone and the man is recording her with his laptop. I also see the man is barefoot, while the woman is wearing shoes. The woman is also wearing a hat. I think the man is not wearing his hat because his hat is next to the newsreporter. The location looks like it might take place in Mexico because of the trees and mountains. I also see the woman is underneath a roof that is made from wood. The weather looks like it is about to rain because of the dark clouds in the sky.
Rocco Imparato (Kennedy HS)
What I see going on in this picture is two people, one a news anchor or youtuber; and another recording. Possibly recording something about the environment around them. The area around them seems to be possibly China or Japan something of that means. She could also just be sitting there review that book next to them.
Ryan P (Kennedy)
There is two people, the guy on the right looks like he is the camera men recording some type of ad.The men has no shoes on. The women on the left looks like she is speaking about whatever that book/ad says next to her. It looks like they are somewhere tropical because of the trees.
Jennifer G (Kennedy H.S) (Chicago)
In this picture I see two people that look like they’re doing an interview or maybe something about the weather.I say this because of where they are it looks very tropical,I also said interview because the girl has a microphone while the guy is just listening.She also has some stuff next to her.
Zachary G (Space)
I see two people. One's kneeling/crouching on the ground and one's sitting down. And I see a laptop connected to a camera. And I think that they're doing photography or modeling or some filmography.

Thank you to each and everyone for your contributions to our discussion today. I hope you will tune in later this week to learn the backstory of this image and enjoy what that information adds to your ongoing thinking! Signing off for now….you are welcome to keep the comments coming. And we look forward to you all joining us again next Monday! In the meantime, have a safe and enjoyable holiday this week.
Daniel Rodriguez ( Kennedy H.S ) (Chicago, IL)
I see three people in a mountain or hill , wide open area with what seems to be a forest and there's a wooden structure with black bags filled with leaves or plants , and containers on a shelf. The woman has a microphone , decorative straw hat , and books by her side with one having children and animals on it , while the man seems to be managing the camera and laptop to record this for a video for children and the person way behind at the background is possibly attending the garden or plants in this area. I say this due to being the area is plentiful with plants and forest life , the shelf might be filled with soil , fertilizer , and garden equipment to tend the plants. The two people shown well are possibly making a video that will entertain kids with a book about animals and colors , since the lady has two books beside her with colorful image and this area might as well be to show children about what a large garden with plants can have.
Karen (Canada, Ontario)
@Daniel Rodriguez ( Kennedy H.S ) Those are some excellent ideas. Your observations about the shelf in the background are interesting. Now that I think about your observations it makes a lot of sense that the shelf would contain gardening supplies because the background of the photo contains many bags of soil and several plants.
Mahi (atlanta)
I can see a young girl is hosting a show which aims to educate the children and the man is recording the video using the camera and laptop. The children's books and the props i.e. the hats with the figures depict that the host uses a visualization technique to teach online.
Dylan K. Kennedy (Chicago)
What i think is going on in this picture is that they are making a broadcast. I think that because the girl has a microphone and there is a camera pointing right at her. I also see a pamphlet next to her. So this leads me to believe that she is trying to raise awareness for plants and flowers.
Alan F (Kennedy H.S) (Chicago)
I see two people recording a video for kids or a interveiw in a little garden next a beach. The way the woman is holding the microphone and equipment the other guy has make me think they're recording some sort of video, there's plants and trees everywhere which shows this is a garden. More things I can find are in the background like the shelf of can, both could be either for painting for plant, and right next to the shelf there's a man who looks like he's gardening.

Tara AOSE (Academy of St. Elizabeth)
As I observe this image, it seems like a man is interviewing a lady. I believe this based on the use of a tripod, computer, and microphone. Maybe this interview is for a new book due to the two books to the right of the lady. I also believe that this could be a weather report. The lady is sitting under some sort of sheltering, possibly made out of bamboo. But, when you look around, some of the sheltering is knocked down, which could be the result of a storm that just passed. It seems like this is taking place in somewhere tropical and above sea level, based on the clouds and fog in the background. The absence of shoes on the man is another feature of this picture that I notice, possibly representing poverty. Finally, one last feature that I observe is the hat on the lady's head and to the right of her. It seems like pictures and words have been drawn onto the hats.
VTS Moderator (Northern California)
@Tara AOSE You are noticing various things here including the people, and what might be happening, as well as many details in this image. An idea not previously mentioned today is your reference to what you refer to as sheltering, noting the materials could be bamboo. You also notice the man is barefooted and possibly represents something about his financial situation. What do you see that makes you say poverty as opposed to being barefoot might indicate something about the weather conditions?
Ms. Tina (Hoopa Ca)
Our 3rd-grade group thinks this picture might be about an interview or a commercial for a plant sale. The woman with the mike could be in the commercial and the man is the cameraman. Someone also thought maybe they were playing or pretending because we can't see a big camera and the computer is not showing an image.
Emily Rodriguez(JFK HS) (chicago)
they're making a video about a book for children because the lady is holding a microphone and the guy is recording her with the camera and computer. Just like news reporters do. The woman is promoting her book.
Tara AOSE (Academy of St. Elizabeth)
@Ms. Tina Great observations! What leads you to believe it is a commercial for a plant sale?
Karen (Canada, Ontario)
I think that the photo is perhaps depicting an educator recording a lesson for her students. The reason why I think that the woman might be a teacher is because she has beside her two children's books and a hat that has been decorated by a child. The hat that she is wearing is also decorated. Perhaps the hats were decorated by her students. It could be an advertisement but if this were the case she probably would not be wearing a casual outfit and flip flops and the recording would probably be more professional than just a cell phone recording. The setting of this photo is most likely a southeast Asian country such as Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, Cambodia, or Indonesia. I think that this might be the case because the style of hat that the lady is wearing (a conical hat) originated in Vietnam and Indonesia. Another reason why this photo might have been taken in southeast Asia is because the plants seem to be tropical species and it looks as if it might rain heavily. This would make sense because southeast Asia is almost entirely a tropical climate. The photo might have been taken in an impoverished area because the person taking the recording is not wearing shoes. It is impossible to know the reason for this, but it might be because he does have everyday shoes. The reason why I think that the lady might be recording a lesson is because in the past several months students across the globe have not been allowed to attend school due to the spread of Covid-19.
Karen (Canada, Ontario)
I have a few other notes. I do not think that the recording is a news report or commercial because the background of the photo seems to be a privately owned area or a backyard. I think that this is the case because there seems to be a storage area for food or spices and there are many garbage bags. These things would not likely be in a public area and a news reporter or advertiser would not likely record in someone's backyard. Another note that I have is that although it does seem like a teacher is recording a lesson for her students during Covid, it is possible that this is not the case because the absence of masks could imply that this photo was taken before covid. However, there are other possibilities as well. The two people in the photo might live together hence the reason why they are not wearing masks while together. Another possibility could be that the two people do not have masks available to them, they do not want to spend money on masks, or they do not have the money to buy them.
Tara AOSE (Academy of St. Elizabeth)
@Karen Great observations! This really helped me to further perceive this picture.
Jesus Diaz(kennedy highschool) (chicago)
I think they are recording for a news report. I also think they are in a place where the income may not be high. i think this because of how they are recording things .
Isabella Lopez (John F. Kennedy (Chicago))
It looks like she is getting interviewed by this guy. I say that because he is pointing a camera at her. They are sitting on the floor and there is also little equipment.
Julissa C (Kennedy H.S) (Chicago, IL)
A lady is sitting down outside and is holding a mic in her hand. I assume they are filming something because the man across from her has a table in front of him. On the table is a laptop charging, next to the table is a camera.
VTS Moderator (Northern California)
So far we have heard various ideas about the subject being filmed. Ideas have been suggested including perhaps a lesson being taught, a promotion of a book, a newscast reporting on an event, either the introduction of a book or of some event that has recently happened. A post by @Brian.G(kennedy) brings our attention to the time this image was captured, suggesting it was recorded before Covid, because no one was wearing a mask. What more can we find?
Sebastian (Chicago, Illinois)
I think they're interviewing a podcast, because the lady is holding a microphone while the guy is recording her with a camera and a laptop.
Damian F. (Kennedy H.S.) (Chicago)
What seems to be happening in the picture is that their is a news reporter working on something that may be important or not but this mostly seems to be in the past before covid because their are no mask in the picture.
Student (Chicago)
I looks like the man is interviewing a woman that is selling stuff llike books
Mike (america)
I think this is a food pantry in Thailand
VTS Moderator (Northern California)
@Mike You are thinking about what this is and where it is located as well. What do you see that makes you say it is in Thailand or that it is a food pantry?
Madison Reyes (john f kennedy)
The first thing I notice is a lady siting down on the floor. It looks like she is filming something for a add because on the side of her Is a book and a nice looking hat and she is also is wearing one. There is also a man on the floor with the table and computer and a cameras the lady is also holding a mic. It looks like they are in a nice area with a lot of trees like maybe Cambodia or japan even the Philippians. They are in good weather the lady is wearing a long sleeve and some shoes and pants.
VTS Moderator (Northern California)
@Madison Reyes Your post reflects how you first noticed a person, identifying them as a lady and her position in the picture. Next you noted another person, identified as a man, noting his position as well. You also mentioned some objects in the picture, a table, a computer, a camera, and a microphone. The clothing seems to tell you something about the climate and you judge the environment to be "a nice area with lots of trees". What do you see that makes you say it could be Japan, Cambodia or the Philippines?
Mr. Nash's D1B4 Group (Virginia)
@VTS Moderator Our main thought was the physical appearance of both of the people in the photo, they look Asian.
Stephanie C. T (Kennedy High School) (Chicago,IL)
It looks like they're filming an interview. For example, stating the daily news. Something else that can be is maybe the guy in interviewing the woman, maybe just asking her random question for a youtube video.
Emily Rodriguez(JFK HS) (chicago)
they're making a video about a book for children because the lady is holding a microphone and the guy is recording her with the camera and computer. Just like news reporters do. The woman is promoting her book.
Jayden A (Kennedy HS) (Chicago)
theyre doing some type of report because the lady has a microphone and the guy is recording her
Brian.G(kennedy) (Chicago)
I think whats going on is a news report. I think its any regular news report. I assume this was before covid, because I dont see them wearing a mask.
Miss Ruiz (Utah)
Our 5th grade class thinks "This is in Thailand, It is a women being interviewed about the book next to her."
Jessilena K (Kennedy HS)
It looks like they are filming a video. I see the camera and laptop set up. Something i also see is a power strip and a microphone.
violetta (SMS)
I predict that in this picture a lady is telling about the jungles and how everything is. Also while she is telling about the jungle and man is recording her. I predict that they will give that to the news people or post it them self.
Citlaly Q (Kennedy) (Chicago)
It looks like a woman is getting filmed for the news maybe. She might have chose that spot because of the better reception or the view.
Daniel M (Kennedy Highschool, Chicago)
In the photo, there are two people, one posing and the other next to a tripod and a laptop. Looking at the background and surrounding area, this appears to be from Southeast Asia. Looking at the woman posing she has a mic and a book, possibly an advert.
gaavyn D (kennedy high)
this photo looks like someone maybe reporting or filming some sort of video and she has someone maybe family to help. i like this becasue i always wonder what other sides of the owrld look like and its neat to see
VTS Moderator (Northern California)
@gaavyn D You are posing a few new ideas to this discussion today. You mention that perhaps family is helping in the filming of a video. You also imply that the environment captured in this image is different from the one you live in and you expressed appreciation for seeing other views of the world. What do you see that makes you say these people could be related, or in what ways is this view different for you from where you live?
Autumn (SMS)
I think they are filming something for entertainment or maybe its like a add because there is something beside the girl and they are trying to advertise it. :/
Photo class Villa Maria College (Buffalo, NY)
Looks like a tropical place, maybe Cambodia or Vietnam. The woman is holding a microphone and being recorded. Maybe she is telling the story in the books next to her. The hats look like they were decorated by kids. In the background there are shelves, maybe with ingredients/spices to cook with. Maybe there is an outdoor kitchen or grill. Maybe its something to do with plants since there are a lot around.
VTS Moderator (Northern California)
@Photo class Villa Maria College The views expresses here include ideas about the location as well as about the people and the actions taking place. One detail mentioned is that the hats look like they have been decorated by kids. What do you see that makes you say kids made the decoration on the hats?
VTS Moderator (Northern California)
Many people have made comments today about the location of this activity. For example, @ann J observed clouds and buildings that appear to be destroyed and concluded that the story being told is about storms that hit the area. @Nyla reports there was a storm in Thailand recently and is connecting that information to the condition seen in this image. @Dhruv S also observed fog and clouds and judged it to be a mountainous region. What more can we find as we look again?
VTS Moderator (Northern California)
Thank you all for joining our discussion today. Some of you are adding your individual viewpoints and others are reporting what was discussed with another or a group. Please keep looking and asking, what more can we find?
Emily Young (Nebraska)
These people are probably residents and are probably doing a nature docu. or just a little homemade video
Brock (Plattsmouth)
By the looks of this image, they are filming a video. I don't know if it is a news video, science video, or a YouTube video. They could be in Japan. I say this is a science video because of the diagram on her right side.
Maddy (Nebraska)
I believe the women in the picture is making a video about a book for children
VTS Moderator (Northern California)
@Maddy @Maddy What do you see that makes you say a video is being made about a book for children?
Rylee (PHS, Nebraska)
I think they are doing a news casting or blog type thing in either the Phillipeans or Asia
Zoran R (Woodbridge, Ontario)
I see a few things in this picture. I see a man taking a picture of a women, and that women is holding a mic and has a straw hat n her head. I'm pretty sure this man is trying to hear her say something or she is maybe singing. I think this because next to the women there is 2 books and I think she is maybe reading those books or memorising them. Also the man has a laptop and has a mic/music stand.
J.Khan (woodbridge)
I think that a pod cast is going on because the phone might be recording and the girl. The man could be listening with the headphones and watching from the computer.
M.K.T (Woodbridge Ontario)
I think that the woman in the picture is shooting a scene in a show. I think that they are in Vietnam I assume this because the man and woman looks Vietnamese and in the picture I see straw hats.
Amar (Woodbridge Ontario)
In this photo it looks like this lady is reporting a news story. That is because she is holding a microphone and she is looking straight into a camera. I also know this because the man is filming the girl and his computer is on. It looks he is while the girl is talking. This is because he is wearing headphones.
VTS Moderator (Northern California)
@Amar your comment includes various details as evidence for a news story being filmed. You see a microphone, a camera, a computer and headphones. You also see a person doing the filming and a person being filmed. What more can you find?
Dhruv S (Woodbridge, Ontario)
I think that news reporters are in the highrises of a tall mountain reporting details about books kept by them. I know this because the lady is holding a microphone and the guy is recording her with the camera and computer. Just like news reporters. I know are up high from sea level because there are fog and clouds in the background. I know they reporting about books because the books are also in the background. They could be there to report about plants but the plants are certainly not captured in the camera because of the angle the camera is set up in.
VTS Moderator (Northern California)
@Dhruv S Your comment suggests you are looking at this picture in a similar way that a news reporter would look. You include descriptions of the environment we are looking at and for you, it appears to be in a mountainous region, high above sea level, due to the fog and clouds you view in the background. What more can you find?
Hayat.W (canada)
I think that In this picture she is Maybe telling about her book and is advertising how good it is because there is a book beside her.
Thalia Konstantinos (Greece)
We have two ideas... 1. I think that this woman in the picture is going to a different country to show how life, the weather and food is there. Maybe she is advertising a new product. 2. In my opinion, the woman is a teacher that is trying to have an e-lesson because of covid-19 or perhaps she's trying to advertise a new book.
VTS Moderator (Northern California)
@Thalia Konstantinos Your comment suggests that you have been discussing this image with another, or perhaps a group of people. Your focus is on the person who looks like the subject of the camera. It could be a new product being featured or a book either being introduced or used for a lesson. What do see that makes you say that?
Samantha (Richmond, VA)
It seems to depict a someone taking a video of another person taking a video of a lady possibly teaching a class in a foreign country. The perspective we get to look from, could be a news reporter showing how this global pandemic is effecting everyone. My second theory however, is that they are simply doing a review on a book and there is a extra camera man for different angles.
VTS Moderator (Northern California)
@Samantha This comment is expanding our view. You suggest someone is capturing the action of a person taking a video of another person and propose this might be to provide various angles. You also present two possible theories about the subject matter of the video, one reporting on the effects of pandemic and the other could be a book review. What do you see that makes you say it could be a book review?
M.K.T (Woodbridge Ontario)
@Samantha Yes, I agree with your comment
Daniel (Virginia)
It seems as if the people in the picture are setting up or have set up to film a video for younger audiences, my inferences and observations come from the fact that the lady in the picture has a book or some type of short story which appears to be a children's book. The set up consist of a computer, microphone, and some type of charger. The man in the picture seems to be as if he will be the one editing and recording the lady speak as she is holding the microphone. Due to the global pandemic the generation is currently going through, it may be difficult for children and families to obtain some sort of resource to education. The lady seems to be providing that for younger audiences. The internet has many new ways to obtain and receive information and education. My thought is that the lady will upload the video to the internet so that the children and families have a way to access education and story telling for younger audiences.
Zoran R (Woodbridge, Ontario)
@Daniel I agree with you because it looks like they are filming something.
VTS Moderator (Northern California)
@Daniel A few other people have mentioned their ideas about various ways teaching and learning are happening now, during the global pandemic, around the world. You point out that the internet provides multiple ways of sharing information and content. You have also pinpointed a new detail about the equipment we see, noting some type of charger. What more can you find?
VTS Moderator (Northern California)
Hello to viewers from around the world today. I look forward to reading your observations and considering your various points of view. Please let us know what you see that makes you say that....
VTS Moderator (Northern California)
As I read over all the earlier comments I noted many viewpoints about where this picture was taken, who the people might be and what possible activity they are engaged in as well. Some of you have offered a broad overview and others have noted various details. What more can you find?
john (richmond va)
i see the photo as maybe a news broad cast, but maybe it is a school project the teacher or student is making a video for. the location is somewhere in asai im guessing cuz of th culture it looks like and the race.
VTS Moderator (Northern California)
@john Many people today have suggested the location of this picture being somewhere in Asia. For example, @Sofia suggested it is in Thailand, @Room 3 said specifically Bali, @Lousanne noted Indonesia, based on the hat. Your comment points to "the culture it looks like" and the race of the people in the picture. What do you see in the picture that makes you say culture?
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles)
There are many suggestions about the location of this image possibly being in Asia, which is a different location then where our contributors are today. When looking at a culture that is different from our own, we may be struck by things that are unfamiliar to us. We may also have a tendency to apply our own personal cultural norms and associations to a setting or culture that may have different norms or customs. As we consider the multiple possibilities in this image, we can also consider how life may be different in other parts of the world and open up to even more ideas about what could be going on in this picture. Keep looking! What more can we find?
Sebas (Richmond)
It appears to be a young school teacher teaching a class virtually possibly about something cultural due to the hats and books set up with each other.
VTS Moderator (Northern California)
@Sebas you seem to conclude that a virtual class is taking place in this picture, in a similar way your school and most schools are operating in the U.S. during this pandemic. You also suggest the subject matter could be cultural. What more can you find?
Rafael Lopez(GHS) (Richmond, VA)
To me this picture depicts a teacher either recording or broadcasting a lesson for students at home with the help of a local due to the impacts of the COVID-19. The reason i came up with this theory is because of the set up that they have and the childrens books next to her.
Elias A. ((Kennedy H.S))
In this picture I see a man with a camera taking video of a women. it seems to me that he is the camera man and the women is a news reporter. it seems that she is talking about a book because nest to where she is sitting there are two book. this is somewhere out of the U.S.
VTS Moderator (Northern California)
@Elias A. Today many people have suggested this might be a newscast of some sort, either reporting about an event or about the books nearby. What do you see that makes you say this is somewhere out of the United States? What evidence do you see?
Jaiylen (wood Bidge Ontario)
in the pic it looks like they are doing some sort of interview because they have the mic and a laptop to record they are most likely talking about the century/province they live in or maybe the global pandemic
Kaitlyn Abbott (Goochland County, VA)
In this picture it looks like she is being interviewed and/or recorded. Maybe for the book next to her. It appears they are in a foreign country, somewhere in the mountains. The video that they are recording may be on the news or in a blog.
VTS Moderator (Northern California)
@Kaitlyn Abbott Thank you for joining the discussion today. I believe your comment is the first to introduce the idea that this is in a mountainous region. What do you see that makes your say "somewhere in the mountains"?
Luis Cahue (John F. kennedy)
In this image it appears to be a man possibly interviewing a lady or it can also be a school project for the lady being recorded and holding the mic. Seem like to me that the man is either an interviewer or can be a camera man/ news recorder. I assume this because the lady speaking to the mic has a few books next to her which makes me believe it is probably a school project.
Emilie S(kennedy HS) (Chicago, IL)
In this picture you can see a man and a woman that look like they are trying to explain a book or maybe their haretige to people on social media. They might be talking about the pandemic and how it impacted them and what helped them get through it or helped them deal with the whole situation.
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles)
Both @Kaylee S and @Giovanni Ducato ( Chicago ) are considering that the people in this image are filming for the news or for YouTube. Others have shared that this could be the recording of a school lesson. With so many ways and reasons for content to be made and shared in the world today, there are so many possibilities for this image. Consider replying to a comment that has already been posted to build on ideas similar to your own to deepen our discussion and looking together.
Jaziel J. ((Kennedy H.S))
In this picture it looks like a teacher is preparing to record a cultural lesson or a Holiday explanation for kids .I feel it’s cultural because the lady is wearing a Chinese hat and she’s also displaying the hat next to the books. Looks like she wants to make a professional one because she has the help of a gentleman in charge of the filming and the lady has a microphone.
Damian P. (Kennedy H.S.) (Chicago)
The pictures shows a news broadcaster in a foreign country. They look like they are filming live on a phone and computer. They seem like the are a private news station.
Franchesca C Chicago (Kennedy)
It looks like the lady is doing a review of something for youtube. I can tell theyre filming because he has the lptop and is staring into the tripod holding the phone. It looks like they are in thailand because it looks tropical.
Miguel Rivera (Kennedy) (Chicago IL)
In this picture I think they are in Asia, and they are recording some type of live or broadcast, or maybe recording an action that just occurred and they are talking about what happened. I can see that there's a camera and a computer and the guy is listening to the voice or the video they maybe could be editing. One thing I did spot was that the lady has more than one of those hats. The place they are located seems to be very tree living and mountains.
Diego R (John F. Kennedy)
Looks like a live stream of some sorts discussing about certain topics. Or it could be just a video reviewing something or possible interview regarding the item next to the other person. But the setup isn't like news equipment it's just a cord extension a laptop and a simple camera.
VTS Moderator (Northern California)
@Diego R You suggest this could be a live stream as opposed to a video recording to be broadcast at a later time. You also compare what the equipment setup for a newscast might require versus the laptop, camera and extension cord we see here. What do you see that makes you say a news equipment would be different from the equipment being used in this scene?
Giovanni Ducato ( Chicago ) (Kennedy)
it looks like they are maybe filming a video for a news station YouTube. Looks like they are in a tropical location because of the palm tree. Low budget production because the only have a laptop and a small camera.
Ernesto Gonzalez (Kennedy HS, Chicago)
In this picture a woman is giving a review on something. What makes me say that is the mic and camera. Something else I noticed is the thing to the left of the woman.
Tyjah M (kennedy HS Chicago,IL)
I think a news reporter came and visited china or some country doing interview how she likes it there and seems she interviews kids too cuz I see books and hat that got painted images on it.
Andre G Kennedy High School (Chicago, IL)
In this picture we see a man and a woman sitting by a sort of lake or ocean. The man has a laptop and a camera with a tripod. The man seems to be recording the woman. The woman has some products beside her, and from this we can assume that they are recording some sort of video or broadcast to show off a product.
Kaylee S (Kennedy Highschool, Chicago)
It looks as though they are filming for either a Youtube channel or a local news source. You see the woman being filmed has what looks to be books and a similar hat to what she's wearing sitting next to her, which could be something she's introducing to her viewers or talking about.
Mr. B's 4th grade (Grand Rapids, MI)
Mr.B's Scholars think that... 1.) Filming some sort of video 2.) Interviewing each other. 3.) The woman is a reporter for the news. 4.) The woman is promoting her book.
Devin (VA)
@Mr. B's 4th grade i agree with number four
VTS Moderator (Northern California)
@Mr. B's 4th grade scholars, you have made multiple comments about this image including who we are viewing, what they may be doing and why they may be doing it. These ideas include making a video reporting news, possibly promoting a book she may have written, or two people interviewing one another. What do you see that makes you say these activities could be happening?
VTS Moderator (Northern California)
@Devin you note that you agree with the idea that the person you identify as a woman, is promoting her book. What do you see that makes you say she is promoting her book?
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles)
Many folks are thinking about the possible topics being filmed in the image based on the items next to the person with the microphone. Perhaps this is an interview of a children’s book author. Perhaps this is a teacher recording a school lesson. Or perhaps this is a news report. What do you think and what do you see that makes you say that?
Khaii (Goochland high school)
This picture appears to be a picture of a man either interviewing a woman for a book that she possibly wrote. The items that give me this prediction are, the children's book next to the woman, and the camera/computer set up. Other things that i found were that the women has more than one of those hats, the man appears to not be wearing any shoes, and the background looks like its up on some sort of mountain.
Haley (SMS)
I think that these two people are interviewing the place that they are at right now. Why I think this is because the lady wearing a type of hat is holding a microphone and it looks like she's in the middle of saying something when someone shot a picture. And the man is just sitting there filming the woman speak. I think that they are either talking about the hat that she is wearing/ that is sitting right beside her, or she could be talking about all of the nature that she is around because I see bags of little plants growing in there, there are also a lot of treeΒ΄s there.
james (virginia)
1: interview 2: microphone and a camera 3: that they are talking about what is going on there in their culture
Janaki Gligorovski (Amsterdam)
The picture portrays a man filming a woman that is reporting supposedly about a school in Asia. However, the actual theme whom the picture conveys is supposedly 'poverty'. In the picture shows two people, one observing a computer and while the other one is filmed by a phone and is talking to a microphone. On the side of the person on the left, the one that is being recorded, there lies a children's book and an Asian hat which has colouring on it. The person on the right, the one whom is staring at the person on the right, is supposedly the one who is overlooking the video being filmed or the broadcast. However the man does not wear shoes and the computer is connected through an extensions cable. The man wearing that doesn't wear shoes and instead is barefoot and the equipment of the man, the phone being used as a filming device along with the computer and the extension cords, suggests that the crew (the man and the woman seem to be collaborating) is allegedly not funded enough, meaning they are under budgeted. That tops up the theme 'poverty'.
VTS Moderator (Northern California)
@Janaki Gligorovski you are one of the first in this discussion to pose the idea that there is an actual theme to this image. That is a topic, point at issue or main idea. You suggest the equipment being used for this activity, i.e. a phone as a filming device and possible extension cords, demonstrates a lack of funding. What do you see that makes you say "poverty", which is defined by words like insufficiency or scarcity as opposed to having the means to capture this event?
Gracie Knight (Goochland High school)
After looking at this picture I have concluded that the lady is someone that lives in this area and is a news person. She seems to have a little more money than the guy recording. The guy that is sitting on the floor seems to be recording her talk, they have a microphone, laptop so that was evidence to prove that they are recording something. I think they are probably talking about a storm that has happened because the wooden things in the background seem to have fallen. It looks like they also have plants in the black trash bags that way they are easy to move to a safe location. There are also two flyers that seem to have kids on the front of it, so maybe she is trying to teach kids about something. Those are some of the things that I concluded about this picture.
Mason (Amsterdam)
This picture is likely of an elementary school teacher giving an online lesson to her students. There is a book that she has in the corner that looks like a school textbook based off of having a logo and text in the top right corner, which may be of the publisher of the textbook. She is also likely an elementary school teacher, as the textbook has cartoons on the front and she has straw hats with drawings drawn on them which may have come from some previous school activity.
Dominic R Kenndy H.S (Chicago)
It looks like they are taking a video I think it's about school for children because the book looks like a children's book.
Maria Shibley (Goochland, VA)
I think that these people are doing an interview about a book or magizine for children or anyone in school.
Afnan (Amsterdam)
A woman is being interviewed about a book. This can be seen by the man who is recording her, while looking at his computer and the microphone in her hand. The book is a school book, so perhaps the man is questioning her about her opinion on the book, since it’s placed next to her. The book is also written in Indonesian, where we can conclude that the picture was taken in Indonesia. She can also be seen as a local from there that knows more about the area and the book. That can be seen from the hat she is wearing, which shows more about the culture in that area. The man and woman might actually be working together on a podcast or a video. Because the man doesn’t look very professional, for example how he is not wearing any shoes. That can show how he is comfortable around the woman and can be seen as a partnership between them.
Rana (Amsterdam)
In the picture we can see a student recording something, possibly related to education as she has some books next to her. We can also see that the setting is poor as the man helping her record is not wearing shoes. It is also very cloudy and it looks cold and still they are not wearing warm clothes. We can also see that plants are being grown in plastic bags and plastic bottles at the back. This photo could possibly be taken somewhere in Asia, as the girl is wearing a hat that can be usually seen in places in Asia.

VTS Moderator (Los Angeles)
@Rana Like @Nada, you are sharing that the setting seems β€œpoor” to you based on what not wearing shoes may mean to you. What more can you find?
Nada (Amsterdam)
A woman is being filmed. She seems to be talking about something related to her country or city, maybe specifically about education in her city. The man that is filming her is listening and watching her intently. It can be seen that the woman is talking about her city, because she is wearing a traditional hat that is probably from Indonesia. The pink book next to her is an indonesian school book for kids. From this, it can be assumed that she is speaking about school in Indonesia. They are surrounded by a garden with bags of soil and a shelf with herbs in the background. It doesn’t look like a rich place, it looks a little poor. This may be the school grounds, but that is just an assumption.
Sarah (Amsterdam)
The Picture is showing a girl that is hosting or filming a video. There is a man that is behind the cameras and laptop to check if everything is going alright and confirming her process. There is an Indonesian book next to the girl, which gives a possibility that she might be talking about something about education. The woman and men look Asian and We can determine the setting as we see it is on a mountain and there is a lot of plants. It looks very cloudy but they are wearing summer clothes which could refer to the tropical weather of Asia. The filming setup is shown as it is not professional at all, which could indicate that they are rich but they are also not poor.
Plato Academy Middle School (Des Plaines, Illinois)
They might be trying to observe animals in the area, or they could be interviewing a tribe of people that live there. They could also be watching for a tropical storm and informing people. It looks like they are doing a photo shoot. Or they could be recording something. It looks like it might be in Indonesia, India, or Peru. I thought it was a photo shoot, but now I see the microphone, I think they might be recording something. I think it is maybe an interview. I think it is in Asia, I've seen those kind of hats there and the plants I've seen there. It might be for a science magazine. It looks like a news report. It looks isolated and still holding a microphone. I also think they are recording something, maybe about the area. I think it is some kind of broadcast or interview, I see a pile of stuff next to her.

I feel like these people are recording a video for the news and as you can see their probably recording this for a book because there is a book on the left and they have a microphone and a camera plugged into a computer.
Mrs. Parker (Goochland)
@Jacob Chisholm Do you think it is just a news report or could they be Youtubers?
Alisa (Amsterdam)
This image showcases a video being made. It seems as though the man in this image is recording the woman and she is talking about something to do with education. The computer and camera stand imply that there is a recording going on. The man sitting behind the laptop could indicate that he is verifying that the filming process is successful. The microphone in the hands of the woman also indicates that the video is going to include an oral presentation of something. This evidence suggests that there is a recording going on. On the left side of the woman, there is a book with children on the cover. This may suggest that the book is intended for children and is perhaps related to education. There is also a hat near the book. The hat has a floral pattern on it, this may have been drawn by a child which further indicates how this video could relate to children. So the book and the hat suggest that this image is somehow related to children and perhaps education. This image also looks like Asia or a tropical country, which could be significant to what is being talked about in this video.
Terrence Semeleer (Amsterdam)
This picture depicts a woman most probably making a YouTube video about a children’s book that she is seated next to. My main reasoning for this being a YouTube video instead of a highly produced news segment is the recording set up. We see a woman seated in-front of the view of a shoreline, the man behind the camera is shoeless, this gives me the impression that this is not a professional set up. On the contrary the use of a microphone does give it a more of a formal ascetic.
Ms. Stutt's Class (Milton, Ontario)
It looks like she is making a video about a new product, maybe the children's book that is beside her. We also thought she might be making a weather video. We think think the location is somewhere in Asia, possibly Vietnam.
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles)
Thank you for joining the discussion @Ms. Stutt's Class. Sounds like there are some different ideas about a video being made in the picture and also about the possible location. What do you all see that makes you say this could be taking place in Asia?
ava guerra ((kennedy), chicago)
in this picture i see two people sitting down and they might be interviweing the girl because there is a camera and the girl is talking into the microphone alsoit looks like they are somewhere in warm tempature because they arent wearing jackets or anything and the girl is wearing a hat that might be for the sun so it might be sunny where they live.
Jack corral (goochland va)
1: interview 2:she has a microphone and he has a camera 3:there is a lot of trashbags
Max Nunez (John F. Kennedy High school) (Chicago IL)
What I think is happening in this photo is she is someone local that started a news program, their just starting their litlle buisness and are on the come up . What makes me think this is its proaboaly in asia and they both look very input with the culture,the ,am with no shoes and the lady with the hat,their setup isnt the greatest and also the enviorment their it just looks like Asia.
xavier ramirez (kennedy)
i think that the lady is doing some type of interveiw and the man in front of her is recording and helping the process. she ould be talking about whats going on around her such as the stick roof or the dozens of trashbags next to her. the place looks to be somewhere in asia.
Zagarick Herman (kennedy) (Chicago)
In this picture there is a man and woman. It seems like there is a lib broadcast for news. The man doesn’t have shoes so I’m guessing they don’t have much money there.
Jesus Torres (John F Kennedy High School)
This looks like this is based in Asia or somewhere in Africa with them showing a nice background in what could be an interview or a news report.
Isabel P, Kennedy HS (Chicago)
I think that maybe the lady could be interviewed or recording in a new place somewhere in asia. Looks like the man is focused on his job maybe paying attention if she is saying what is being interviewed. They have a laptop and camera, which camera could be recording her and laptop to edit and submit.
yurivbeth v ( Kennedy H.S) (Chicago | oct,5 2020)
I think what is happening in this picture is that the two people are making a podcast or they are making a news report. but I mostly this its the news because I see a child book in the background. they can be a repot to a children's book that can be new or that became popular out of nowhere.
Angelo V, Kennedy H.S. (Chicago)
What I see in this image is a man making a video of a girl that I think is talking about a children's book. You can see the child's book right next to her and it looks like the guy's camera is an iphone.
Aiden W (Kennedy H.S) (Chicago, IL)
It looks like an interview is being recorded. It could also be a recording for a video for a website in the area. It could also be for a news broadcast for wherever they are. Or it could be a teacher doing online school for a younger group of students, mainly because there appears to be a book to her left.
Nathaniel Carrero kennedy (Chicago)
I think these people are doing a news update after a strong storm because the lady has a microphone and the other dude seem to be recording her. In the background you can see trees and stuff all around .
Samantha D (Kennedy H.S.) (Chicago, IL)
To me it looks like they're either having an interview or recording some segment for a news broadcast.
Bobby (ontario)
I feel like these people are recording a video for the news and as you can see their probably recording this for a book because there is a book on the left and they have a microphone and a camera plugged into a computer.
Jaziel J. ((Kennedy H.S))
I think maybe the lady is doing an interview about reading for little kids. She has books next to her
camden (stewert middle school)
she is getting recorded by other people
Tre'shon W, Kennedy (chicago)
After looking closely at the image I have came to the conclusion that this might be a news crew in Asia maybe
Melanie V (kennedy highschool)
i think these people are giving the news. or are apart of a news broadcasting system. due to the woman having a mic in her hand and looking pretty proper. as well as the man being her camera man/helper since he has a camera and computer plugged in.
sophia j (kennedy) (chicago, illinois)
i think theyre doing an interview or recording a video. I see childrens books as well.
kaden (sc)
I think that maybe there taking a video and the reason I say that is it looks like the man is taking a video of her reading kids book and she talks about it after. It also looks like there are taking the video off a phone and laptop.
Nelson (Very cold planet)
I think this is something for a news channel somewhere in Africa or Australia. I think this because I see a man with a chromebook, a phone stand thing, a charger for the chromebook, and a drop cord. I also see a woman sitting beside a notebook and a book propped up against something that looks like a hat sitting on concrete, the woman is also holding a microphone. In the background I see a lot of trees, and a little wooden structure above the woman.
Diego (SC)
I think it is an interview because the man has a camera and the woman has a microphone. It also looks like it is about a hurricane because the water in the back looks foggy and looks like it's moving fast.
Aleigha (south carolina)
I see that the man recording is recording with a laptop. Also I think that the women that is in the video is probably making a video that explains there culture, The reason I think that is because there is a book that looks like people of her kind. I also noticed that she is wearing a hat that looks pretty odd, There is also another hat right beside her that looks the exact same. I think that the hats also might be part of her culture. Also I think it may be a interview. Also I saw that the background looks like a bad storm came through because the tree branches that they used to build the covering looks to be broken. Also I realized that there was something that looked like trash bags in the back ground, and many of them. You can also see in the very back that on those shelves there are some things that appear to be pottery.

Mr. Winfrey (Kennedy) (Chicago)
It looks like there is a show being filmed live. Like for a Youtube channel or something small. Or maybe it's yet another, more creative version of remote learning.
luz (USA)
she is doing a read a loud and making a video of her reading because the man is recording her and she also has books right beside her
Dakota P (SC, AMERICA)
I think they are doing the news or doing a interview with her. it looks like they are in india or somewhere like that because a there is a shop or a seller that sells something in a jar and I see mountains in the background and there is a like a covering above the woman and looks like a axe beside her and some sand bags or something and there is some books beside her with a hat.
man (pittsburgh)
i think that she is a school teacher in a zoom class. Because of the book and the laptop.
Emma J (SC)
Its an interview from an asian country like Japan, Or Korea. I think this because of the hat that the Guy/Girl is wearing and the books that are right beside him. The sticks in the background are most likely are from an incident. That's all I got honestly
DJ (USA)
I think they are news reports in hawaii before covied 19. I think this because she as a mic and he is recording her with the laptop and the phone.
Altesse (sms)
In this picture there is a lady and an old man, and I think the lady is a journalist who is talking about where she is and the man is recording for her with a camera and a laptop and he had headphones on. There also some stuff next to the lady and on her back there like trees, plants and stuff
Emilea (gaston sc)
I think it is a interview because they are recording her and she has a microphone and .I think they are in africa and it looks like there was a storm
maddie (earth)
I believe this is a interview because the guy has a camera and a laptop that look to be connected. he looks to be recording. I believe she is a children book author. because she has what looks to be some children books besider her.
luis.T (mars)
Well I think its a interview because she has a mic and it looks like she's reading a book. Also I see that there ;;on a mountain or hill. Or she's probably a news reporter.
Carter (SC Francis Mack)
The man appears to be homeless trying to sell stuff maybe about to be internet selling? Anyway the evidence that proves that he is homeless and the woman is not the man is barefoot the woman is wearing colorful things and i think she came to see either her grampa or dad. That is homeless bc i see trash everywhere i see cans all stacked up over there and trying to help sell things so he can get money. I see mountains so it probably means they are maybe in asia bc those hats look like asian hats.
Mr. Levy's Class (Brunswick, Maine)
The man is recording the woman using a laptop and cell phone. They are in a lash tropical jungle with mountains in the background. It may be usually pretty sunny in the area as the woman is wearing a hat that would protect her from the sun. It is either misty or smoky in the background and there are several mountains in the background. It may be in Asia. There is a lot of bamboo in this picture. There is a little kid activity book on the seat next to her along with another book or notebook facing her. She could be recording a book that she is reading or a story (or she may be doing a news report).
jamesR (boston)
I think this image is somewhere in Africa, depending on what they are wearing and the landscape behind them. Although, the thing that makes me second guess my answer is the hat that the woman is wearing. It makes me think they're in Asia somewhere. I think they may be interviewing someone that might be building, because it looks like there is construction in the background
Jack (Boston)
I think that they are recording for a TV Show or a video because I see the lady holding a microphone and the man on the computer. This makes me think that they are filming a video like the news. Also, the background shows almost like a hut with sticks it almost looks like. it could be a background for the news.
Sadie (Boston)
I think that they're doing an interview about a weather disaster that happened in their country. The floor they're standing on kinda looks damp and the clouds are gray.
Gia (Boston)
I think they are interviewing someone who witnessed the hurricane.
Bruno Mancuso (Boston)
I think that these people discussing the recent storms that recently hit the areas they lived in.
sophia (reading)
I think they are talking. they are taking picture. it hot there.
Nyla (Boston)
I think they are interviewing people in Thailand. I see that the structes around them is very broken and damaged. A storm hit Thailand over the weekend from Friday, October 16, to Sunday, October 18. They don't have much around them.
Ben (Boston)
I think it is a interview that is taking place after a natural disaster that took place recently. I think this is located in Thailand.
mom (...)
I think they are recording a song because the girl has a microphone and the man has what looks like a camorra.
ann J (Reading Ma)
I think this is in Thailand. The woman is doing a story about the crazy storms that hit the area. If you look left, you can see the clouds and the destruction of the buildings.
Audrey (Boston)
This looks to me like that this is a Pilipino children's author. I believe that she is creating a video introducing her book to her young readers. With everything that's goin on in the world today, and when I zoomed in on into the book, there is people from all around the world on it. My final answer is that an author from the philipeans is introducing her book to children to teach them about equality.
BANANAS (Boston)
I think there are doing some sort of show or interview
Mia (Boston)
Maybe the girl is interviewing a man who loves being in the forest, maybe that man is acting like a monkey or chimpanzee, so he likes being in the forest.
Dominik (reading)
I think that this is a school picture day for a Asian country because I can see Asian people and it looks like they are taking a photo.
Frida (Amsterdam, Netherlands)
I believe this picture was taken in Asia. The picture shows a woman, most probably a host for a news program and the man that is sitting behind the camera and the computer must be the camera man. The woman is sitting next to what seems to be a children's book which is supported by a hat, however this could also be a informational book over the local plants and biodiversity. This seems plausible as we can see diverse plant buds resting along the stone step. The structure she is resting under seems to be a bit damaged, so she may be presenting something over this happening.
leia (Netherlands)
There is a woman sitting on a curb holding an interview mic and talking in it. The interviewer is sitting across from her about 2 metres, with a camera and laptop. The woman seems to be presenting two books and a decorated hat which looks similar to the hat she is wearing. Both the hat and the books look to have something to do with children (if you look at the decorations on it and the cover of the book). The two people are sitting outside, somewhere high, and are surrounded with trees. Above the curb the woman is sitting on are wooden bases for a cover, they are however not covered at the time of the picture nor are the two people dressed for bad weather. This would lead me to believe that the weather is quite warm (and dry at the moment).
Fransje (Amsterdam, The Netherlands)
I believe this picture is taken in Indonesia since the woman is wearing a rice hat which is very popular in Asia. In my opinion, I see a teacher recording a video for her students because there are books next to her and a camera set in front of her. I believe this photo is taken recently since they are filming a class for the students to follow since they can not go to school because of the global pandemic. This is a way for the students to continue their education even if they cannot go to school.
Matheus Spinola Araujo (Brazil)
It can be seen from the hat that the lady is wearing that this place could possibly be China, since it looks very similar to a chinese traditional hat. Something else to take in account is that china is huge in size and known for having very tall hills and mountains, and in this picture they are on top of a mountain. What is happening in my opinion is that the lady is a reporter and the items next to her are the things she is talking about, that is because these items differ from the whole of the picture, in color and material. The man is a cameraman, but what is interesting and makes me doubt my conclusion is that she has make up on, shoes, nicer clothes , while the man does not. Even though that is what is happening he is still the one looking at the camera and computer while she is being filmed, therefore being the reason why I think he is her cameraman. I would also conclude that it is a remote place they are, since the technology used for filming isn't the best of technology and there is no signs of electronics in the environment. In conclusion I think a lady is doing in interview about those objects next to her in a remote village on a mountain in china
Miriam (Amsterdam)
The paragraph will consists of analysis of a picture, it will include what is in the picture and how it is evident. The picture shown above displays a man making a video of a female. It reveals that she is being broadcasted. This is seen by the microphone she is holding and the camera in front of her. The image was made in a mountain because there is a slope descending down.There is a lot of greenery around, roofing made of sticks and the colours are very radiant. The green from the plants are bright and the softer colours such as the light grey worn by the people in the picture looks more vibrant than in reality. A picture is worth a thousand words and the analysis made is a small fragment of what I can see and what I find relevant to address.
Kami (Netherlands)
The image displays a lady holding a microphone while being filmed. The mannerisms showed in the way the man crouches hints that the culture is Asian. The location of the image could be Vietnam due to the rice hats, tropical climate, and hills seen in the background. As well as fog which is often seen in mountainous regions where rice is grown. It could also be Indonesia or Malaysia because of the palm tree in the background. The lady being filmed appears to be a teacher for younger kids or someone who is making an educational video. This is due to her name being written on her rice hat followed by a drawn sunflower. People with name tags are often in authoritative positions and because of the drawn sunflower, she is most likely working with kids. There is also a children's book and in their surroundings is a garden with plants. Since the man is filming the lady it is very possible that she is creating an educational video on something climate-related due to the setting they chose for the filming to take place in.
Carlo (Netherlands)
In this picture we see two people, one is being filmed and one is filming. By the looks of the setting I would guess it is somewhere in the Philippines or Thailand, the lady that is being filmed is sitting under a bamboo structure that does not look very stable. They are possibly in a remote village judging off the fact of the loose outlet and not very advanced setup. They could be filming a video to raise awareness for a certain event that they need help with, or they could simply be informing the world on how they're system works, based off of the children's book to her side and the flower on the hats, this could be a school for young children.
Ama (Amsterdam)
This image shows a woman seated in front of a camera holding a microphone to her lips. Her relaxed composure conveys the appearance of an individual who aggregates social commentary(perhaps on books or climate change) under the guise of reporting news. Coupled with the shoddy camera equipment, the bored facial expression of the barefoot cameraman and the presence of the matching hat suggests that he was somehow coerced into indulging in his partner's antics.
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles)
@Ama You’re looking closely at the body language and facial expressions of the two figures and creating a narrative about what could be happening in this picture. What more can you find?
Isabella (Amsterdam, Netherlands)
The woman in the photograph appears to be filming a video about a book for children with the help of a man. This can be considered because the woman holds a microphone with two books to her left with cartoon covers. The man sits a few feet in front of her behind a small table with a laptop on it. To the right, there is a camera pointed towards the woman. The man wears headphones as he watches her. The left side of the photograph shows hills in the distance, making it appear that the man and woman are on a high mountain. The two are surrounded by trees and bamboo structures. Since the woman wears a rice hat and appears to be Asian due to her facial features, it can be assumed that the picture was taken in Asia. The tanned complexion of the man and woman and the palm tree to their right suggests that the photograph was taken in Southeast Asia.
Calvin Charles (Amsterdam)
A lady is being interviewed in the picture by a man. The environment surrounding the two people implies that the lady is talking about the vegetation grown in the area. It is observed also by the plants in the plastic bags ready to be grown. The choice of this this specific location to film an interview implements that they wanted the surrounding to appear with plantations in the background. The lady appears to be wearing a farming hat as well.
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles)
@Calvin Charles You’re looking at the vegetation in the background and possibly in the black bags to the right of the figures and thinking that may be the topic of an interview. You’re also thinking about the camera placement and how that may also support this idea. Thank you for sharing evidence in the image for your idea! What more can you find?
Stef (Amsterdam)
I think I am looking at a cameraman and journalist in a Southeast Asian country reporting on a collapsed or damaged infrastructure, probably caused by heavy rain. Interestingly, their setup seems a bit crude from this angle. I see two people on a brick-paved cliffside which is surrounded by rainforest. Judging by the rainforest and the appearance of the people, I think the location the picture was taken in is somewhere in Southeast Asia. Considering the location, the damage of the bamboo structure was probably caused by a storm. One of them (the cameraman) is a man dressed in a loose shirt and pants with no shoes squatting behind a computer on a small counter and a phone on a tripod which is recording the other. The other person is a woman (the journalist) sitting while wearing a straw hat, pants, buttoned-up shirt, and a pair of socks with sandals. She holds a microphone and appears to be speaking and looking towards the camera. For some reason, the woman has a children’s book besides her. I have no idea why, perhaps they are making an educational video for children.
Selin Ceylin Çatal (Amsterdam)
In this paragraph I will write about what I see in this picture and my analysis. First of all, in this picture a woman and a man filming a video, I can say that by looking at the camera and the computer. Woman in the picture wears a traditional hat and there stands probably a traditional book. These two elements give me the feeling that they are probably filming a video to introduce their tradition or the place they are at because also the place they are at seen as a special place. Woman is holding a microphone which makes her seen more formal or more like a journalist. From their appearances and the place they are at in the picture, it shows me that they are in an Asian country. Furthermore, from the clothes of the man in the picture, I understand that they don’t have really good conditions while they are filming this video. As a result, these are all elements I could see in this picture.
Lousanne (Amsterdam, The Netherlands)
1) Within the picture you see a woman holding a microphone in front of a camera with a beautiful view behind her that looks to be located in Indonesia due to the hat worn by the woman. A man is crouched in front of her but behind a camera and laptop set up. He wears no shoes and looks to be rather bored. It looks as though the woman is creating a video of some sort that revolves around the scenery surrounding her as she is sat on a wall quite neatly and a usual video would not be made in such a place. It is possible that she’s teaching a lesson or doing something school related as a book is placed next to her that looks to be as though it is one for young children in primary school. This can be seen by the cover choice of small cartoon children. The woman holding the microphone looks nicely dressed whereas the man behind the camera looks more shabby.
Bevelyn (Amsterdam)
The paragraph consists of an analysis, evidence and explanation to the picture posted. From the enormous picture posted, I can decipher that there is a journalist reporting her findings about the damages a storm has caused, judging from the broken hut at the back, This can be recognized because the journalist is holding her microphone talking while sitting next to some plants and her back facing the broken hut. The crew is seeing to it that it comes out perfectly. From where the journalist is, it portrays their location somewhere around some trees, and it might be a tourist attraction since the incident was been reported by a journalist. It can also be recognized that the journalist is vibrant, motivated and eager talking about her findings while the crew seems calm. The meaning of this picture paints a thousand words with each word having a great meaning.
Khalifa bojang (Amsterdam west)
An interview is helding on by gardener in her garden. The background seems as a garden because behind her, there are trees. It looks like she earns her living from the productivity of those trees as seen also there are plastic plant pot besides her. The purpose of the interview maybe how she cultivate the plants or advertising her products for sell.
Alyssa (Amsterdam, the Netherlands)
This photo illustrates a woman reading to children, being filmed by a man. In front of the man are devices used for filmings, such as a laptop and a phone. The fallen woods beside the woman implies that a catastrophe has happened, such as a typhoon has hit the country. Putting it into context would be a typhoon has hit them, and it is not advisable to go to school, which is why the woman is filming for the children. The children’s books besides the woman suggest that the video is aimed at the youth. The location of this image is probably in Asia because they are on a plateau and the woman is wearing a straw hat, which is widely used in Asian countries.
Rokas (The Netherlands)
A man is recording the woman. It looks like the female is presenting, introducing a children book. It might also be a picture taken in the middle of recording a video for kids. It seems they might be in Asia due to the race of the individuals. I claim that because one can clearly see the cover of the book which displays a few childish drawings. Not only the drawings on the book cover but also on the hat. We can see that the hat is coloured with paint.
Tenzin (Amsterdam)
An Asian woman is making a video with the help of a man. The video is set in a valley with beautiful scenery. Besides the lady lies few children book. This video is probably homemade as the man is not wearing a shoe, and the woman might be an elementary school teacher. This picture gives you a snippet of how rural communities are coping with the global pandemic.
Or Hirsch (Amsterdam, The Netherlands)
There is a news reporter or a blogger in this picture. The reporter is a woman, and she is speaking into a microphone. There is a man with a laptop and a camera in front of her, recording and filming her. In the background, it seems that some rods fell or the shed has collapsed or broke. The reporter could be speaking about what happened behind her or about the booklets lying next to her. It seems to take place in Vietnam or Indonesia, for the woman is wearing a rice hat, and the palm tree behind her indicates that it is somewhere with warm or tropical weather.
Sofia (Amsterdam)
On this picture I see a process of a male and a female recording an interview in Thailand. The first thing that I saw was a man squatting in front of a laptop and a phone that he uses as a camera. In front of him there is a woman with a microphone in her hands. Around them I see broken kiosks so I assume there was a tornado or an earthquake. Both the woman and the man look Thai to me and the female is wearing some special kind of hat hat due to what I thought that this photo was taken in Thailand.
Sheikh Bojang (piergtmondrian)
There is a presentation going. A woman having a mic whilst the old guy is sitting staring at the laptop as the Camera standsby. I saw a man sitting attentively looking at the Laptop and the woman with the mic is sitting looking at the camera which is opposite her. In Addition i find that they are in open space, the man does not wear a shoe.
Room 3 (Perth, Western Australia)
We think this picture is in Asia. Possibly Bali, one of our students has seen these hats in Bali. The hats look like they are grass hats to protect from the sun. A lady is being videoed in an area with mountains. There are powerlines and a bamboo structure that seems to be collapsing. Storms may have this and that means it could be a rainforest climate. There are lots of plants in plastic bags and pots next to the lady and on a stand on the right. They may be growing plants or trees in this area. Next to the lady there is a children's book with animals on it such as a horse, cow, elephant, goat and bird. The lady may be making a video for children and putting it online. She may be a teacher or an author.
katelynn (montpilier high school)
@Room 3 good thinking
