What is this unit about?
A picture tells a thousand stories, they say! Have you ever wondered about how a picture can tell a story? When we hear a story, when we read a story, our mind forms an image of what is being described. They make us connect to the story. Similarly, when we see a picture, our mind tries to build the story from the picture. No wonder that picture story books are favourite reading books for children and adults.
In this unit, we will learn how we can use pictures as a method of story telling. Story telling is a traditional method of transmitting information from one person to another; one generation to another. Story telling can also be used to create awareness about social issues and challenges - talk to your teacher about how Burra Katha emerged as an art form in Telangana. Drawing pictures is also not new. Human beings have been using pictures to tell stories, describe things throughout our history - from cave paintings to Deccani paintings to the comic strip or to the movie poster.
Can you guess what is new about this unit? Yes, it is the use of new, digital methods to create pictures and combining them with text. This field of ICT involving the creation of visual (pictures and text) stories is called graphics and is developing fast as a method of developing communication. In the earlier unit on data processing, you saw how data is represented in multiple formats - through text, numbers, and maps, photos and pictures.
In this unit, we will focus on how we can use digital methods to create such graphic representations. You will be creating with ICT, interacting with various ICT applications and devices and developing messages for communication.

What ideas come into your mind when you see the pictures? Discuss with your friends what ideas came into their mind. You may have come to the understanding that pictures can tell stories in many ways:
- Show how we feel
- Describe events
- They can sometimes express ideas beyond words
- A picture can be a substitute for an experience - you can understand the event even if you have not seen or heard it directly
- Combined with words
Telling stories with pictures - 2

- Are they in any order? Should the order be changed? Will that help you talk about the metro better?
- If someone were to ask you to tell about Hyderabad Metro Rail in photos, would you use these pictures or would you want to take some more pictures? What would you have to do before you start collecting the pictures?
