I chose this photo which is a scene from the great depression time period. It shows children in a food line. I chose this photo because I am currently reading the novel, Bud, Not Buddy with my students. This story takes place during the great depression era and I found myself looking for pictures from this time period before I started the novel with my students.
I found this photo interesting because I feel it would be amazing for my students to see what children from this time period had to go through to get a basic meal.
I just learned from a computer geek that if I had enlarged this photo and saved it when it was bigger, it wouldn't be so blurry. Sorry about my picture quality here!
Using these photos would be helpful in creating warm-up activities. Post the photo on your Smart Board and then have them write a journal entry about what is happening in this photo. How does it relate to what they are reading? etc...
ReplyDeleteI went to a Barry Lane in-service once and he is a big fan of writing warm-ups involving pictures. I think the kids really like it too:)
