Image Analysis - Pictures On a String...

We worked with image analysis all week in grades 6 and 7. The students learned a lot, and were very good at dissecting images, and locating minute details. They were charged with creating titles, coming up with stories about portraits, and even imagining what surroundings would smell and feel like. On Monday 11/12 we'll share some of our stories, as well as try to guess which story goes with what picture.

I think we'll leave the pictures up for a bit longer as they make our learning space more interesting. I intend to add items as we go along, in addition to some news and current events items. The strings and magnetic hooks were located at a local hardware store, and have worked very well so far.

I got the idea partially from a student, and a fellow educator in my professional development program - Rivers, Roads & Rails. The original idea was using string across the classroom as a means to create a time-line - but image display works very well!
