Updated: Aug. 26, 2016 Note: "What's Going On in This Picture?" will begin again for the 2016-17 school year on Monday, Sept. 12. Stay tuned. Students
1. After looking closely at the image above (or at the full-size image), think about these three questions:

What is going on in this picture?

What do you see that makes you say that?

What more can you find?

2. Next, join the conversation by clicking on the comment button and posting in the box that opens on the right. (Students 13 and older are invited to comment, although teachers of younger students are welcome to post what their students have to say.)

3. After you have posted, try reading back to see what others have said, then respond to someone else by posting another comment. Use the "Reply" button or the @ symbol to address that student directly.

Each Monday, our collaborator, Visual Thinking Strategies, will facilitate a discussion from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Eastern time by paraphrasing comments and linking to responses to help students' understanding go deeper. You might use their responses as models for your own.

4. On Friday mornings, we will reveal at the bottom of this post more information about the photo. How does reading the caption and learning its back story help you see the image differently?
More? Updated: May 27, 2016
This week's image comes from the May 6, 2016 " The Week in Pictures " post on the Lens blog. The original caption reads:

Maria Elena Carrillo, 31, held her sleeping daughter, Camilla Escalante, 3, while she spoke to her brother and sister, who live in Kansas, through the border fence separating Mexico and the United States. The through-the-fence meetings are limited to weekends on the United States side at what is known as Friendship Park, which straddles the California border with Tijuana, Mexico.

John Moore is the photographer.

What's Going On in This Picture? | June 6, 2016

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
On Mondays, we publish a Times photo without a caption, headline or other information about its origins. Join the conversation by commenting on what you see and why. A live discussion is offered that day from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Eastern.

I see parents waiting for their children, who walk to school, to come out of the school building at the end of the day.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder what grade their children are in.
I think the dogs are looking at another dog who is waiting for his boy or girl to come out of the school building.

# data[].attributes.body
I see someone holding a young child, sleeping on her shoulder. A man in the foreground with a dog. Steel beams painted to look garden-ish.
I think they are visiting a city park.
I wonder if they are visiting or live in the area.

# data[].attributes.headline
I see: a person with a dog, and a person with a sleeping child, facing the same direction, with a colorful structure in the background.

I think: it looks like they may be attending an event of some sort, as they are facing the same direction. It does not look like the child or dog are interested in what the adults are watching.
I wonder: if this is a concert, a political event, or a religious assembly of some sort.

I see a woman with a child a bit far from someone with 2 dogs.  The woman is near some type of art mural/sculpture..

I think they are separate for a reason
I wonder if the woman with a child is talking on her phone and went to that area to lessen distractions or have privacy...nevermind, her phone is in her back pocket!

I See....A man, woman, sleeping child. 2 dogs. Outside.
I think... They might have been through something dramatic.
I wonder.... Where they really are, if the dogs are pets, and if something dramatic has happened to them.

# data[].attributes.headline
I see: A woman holding a sleeping child.  2 black dogs walking close to another person. They are outside walking in front of beams with a painting of flowers.

I think: The woman's arms are full and feeling heavy.
I wonder: Do the people know each other? Do the dogs belong to them? They aren't wearing leashes.

# data[].attributes.body
I see: a woman with a child, a man, and two dogs; they are outside.
I think: they may be a family; the adults may be the parents of the sleeping child. It looks as though the parents may be fighting, as there is a great distance between them.  I also think the dogs are good boys.
I wonder: why the adults are fighting. I also wonder who painted the fence behind where the mother is standing.

# data[].attributes.body
I see: a sleeping girl being held by a lady, the lady is looking through some sort of fence-like structure; their are two black dogs with identical mouths; the fence-like structure is painted with flowers and multiple colors
I think: the identical dogs make me think they are being reflected by a mirror; the colors and fence make me think of a border
I wonder: Are they waiting for something? What is on the other side of the fence-like structure?
