A few more sites to check out with lots of powerful photos sure to spark
some convos in your classes.

I'm curious if any of you have done something beyond a basic "talk about
what you see here" activities.
My ideas so far:
- Silent chalk talk: print some out and put around the room and have kids
write and respond to others' opinions
-give a title to the pic
-guess the five w's of the pic
-pick 3 pics and create a story that uses all three
-tense specific questions: (describe what happened/what could happen
next/If I were there I would...)
-find your own awe-inspiring photo and bring it in- present it
-who do you think the photographer was? why was he there? how does he feel?
-picture sort: group similar photos by scene, time, people, etc.
-maybe a 2wk bell ringer activity with a new photo and question each day?
Turn this into a journal with a reflection on the power of a picture...
-teacher describes a pic and sts guess which one it is (then can be done in
pairs)
-one student describes a pic while another draws it
I'm looking for something even more interactive. Is there a protocol for
reacting to a photo? And, any ideas for just clicking through these photos
on the projector?
Have a great week.- Lori
