Investigating Pictures

This modelling the tools is incorporated into critical challenges at grades 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7, however, it can be adapted for use at all grade levels.

 

Overview

The detailed activities that follow help students learn to extract information from photographs. The focus is on using pictures to learn about community life, but the activities could be altered to suit other purposes. Students take on the role of detectives, looking for clues in photographs that depict various community scenes in order to answer the questions: what, where, who and why. They then use their findings to draw conclusions about the community.
