trying to say about the issue? Do pupils agree/ disagree? How do the various images
make them feel?
Pupils could choose a photo (e.g. a favourite or a
photo that makes them feel
uncomfortable etc.) and then explain to their group why they have chosen it.
Pupils in groups are allocated an image or photograph and asked to put a caption
underneath it (e.g. an illegal immigrant coming into the country). Groups could then
compare and contrast their captions, discussing in particular how the choice of caption
can elicit a variety of responses (e.g.
some will focus on hope, others on despair,
charity, shock etc.).
Give each group a photograph centred on a larger piece of paper (e.g.
a photo
highlighting a controversial issue). Ask pupils to question the photograph and to
record their questions around the outside of the photo (e.g. What is the issue? Who is
involved? What does that person standing to the side think? etc.).
Questions can be
used to stimulate further discussion. Alternatively, pupils might wish to generate ideas
on an image by noting around it the thoughts, ideas and words which come into their
heads whenever they see it for the first time.
Ask pupils to develop a role play or simulation based on a photo, image or cartoon.
They can
name individuals in a picture, invent relationships between them, imagine
how each person feels, etc. They should then take on the roles and act out what they
think is happening and what might happen next. Each pupil could choose a character
from a photograph and take on the role. Other class members can then question them
in role.
Pupils could take photos using a digital camera and incorporate them into collages,
presentations, etc.
Photographs could be used for a
Memory Game
activity, in which pupils are shown a
picture or cartoon which they must study in order to remember details.
Pupils then
write down or draw the details from the picture. This might be good for focusing
pupils’ attention on extrapolating detail.
