Images show, writing states
- The SI section pairs 15 images with short written evidence 书面证据 (CED 3.A/3.B).
- The writing answers two prompts: state the inquiry, and describe how it developed — about 1,200 characters.
- The images show; the writing states — they must agree.

They are legitimate SI images.
Caption every image
- Every image carries caption fields: materials 材料, processes, dimensions, and citations where needed.
- Process images — journal spreads, in-progress states, detail shots — count among the 15.
- Use several process images: they prove practice, experimentation, and revision.
The order of the 15 images does not matter.

Scorers read them as a sequence — order is part of the argument.
Select all things the SI written evidence should do.

Writing unrelated to the works fails the relevance rule.
Order them as a story
- Order the images deliberately — scorers read them as a sequence, so build a narrative arc.
- Choose images that prove the writing: question stated, tests shown, development visible.
- Write plainly and concretely, naming skills in CED vocabulary.

Show, state, name.
Uploading 15 images in the order you happened to make them throws away free points. Sequence them so a scorer, reading top to bottom, watches the inquiry grow — the order is part of the argument.
Fifteen images, ordered: 1 states the question (a portrait dissolving), 2–4 test materials, 5–6 a documented failure and its fix, 7–13 the idea deepening, 14–15 the resolved answer. A scorer reads growth without needing the captions.
The SI = 15 images + short written evidence (inquiry + how it developed). Caption every image (materials, processes), include process shots among the 15, and order them so the growth reads as a story.
Write from an inquiry image buried at position 9
- Fifteen images are uploaded in the order they were made.
- The image that states the question is number 9.
Fifteen images are uploaded in the order they were made, and the image that states the question is number 9. What is lost?
A reader should be able to follow the question from the first images.
What should happen to image 9?

The upload order can be arranged to show how the inquiry developed.
