Instructional Ideas
  • Use additional images if the class analyzes quicker than originally planned 
  • Differentiate for English learners by adding a picture next to each question asked in the graphic organizer
Classroom Considerations
  • Every member of the class needs some way to view the images, whether through a projection system, individual tablet, or handouts

  • Up for subjective interpretation and uses an authentic form of assessment
  • Encourages critical thinking skills and creates a holistic understanding of history and art
Cons
  • None
