A fun, informative and interactive lesson on analysing photographs. The student at 8-12 influential, historial and powerful photos and answer and /or discuss a number of sessions. Some examples are the following:
• What is the subject matter?
• What are the colours like? Do any colours dominate?
• What is your eye drawn to first?
• What were your feelings when you first looked at the photograph?
• How did your reaction to the image change after looking at it for a while?
• What message was the photographer trying to communicate?
• Why did you choose this particular photograph?
• What events (social/economic/political/cultural) were occurring at the time the photograph was taken? Was the photograph a reaction to any of these events?
• How is the photograph a reflection of the time in which it was taken?
I have included a number of video links and a poem related to the 9/11 photograph: ‘The Falling Man’.
There is also a group task where the students can recreate the famous photos or make their own powerful photos.
Quiz using pictures of different cities. Useful as a starter on a unit about cities. Is also useful to get pupils looking for clues in images to help locate them somewhere in the world.
A fun lesson with definitions, group tasks, individual work and interactive images. I have included a starter based on the TV show Catchphrase (metaphor themed).
