Assess students' ability to analyze how facial expressions, body language, and color in picture-book illustrations combine to convey characters' emotions and motivations. Items require identifying specific visual cues in short illustrations, explaining how expression, posture, and palette interact to suggest feeling or intent, comparing two images for differences in inferred motivation, and proposing one small visual change to alter a character's perceived goal, with brief evidence-based explanations appropriate for Pre-K–Grade 2.
