I also agree that using VTS to facilitate discussions in social studies will be useful. Honestly, I believe that younger children are used to looking more deeply at illustrations to gain meaning because until they become more skilled readers, they are still often dependent on clues in illustrations. Fostering discussions using images about different communities, etc. should be something that would fit naturally in a second grade room. You may also think about incorporating a KWL chart or another interactive chart/graphic to organize their questions and ideas as they explore the pictures, and then follow up after the content is presented.
