First, you will be discussing some of the images we saw in the slide show Monday/Tuesday (you can find the video below). You might want to write this down, because I will be calling on random people to share. With your partner, discuss:
1. Which images stood out to you. Which images caught your attention, and why? (Remember the WHY. What did that image make you think of/imagine/feel?)
2. Pick ONE image you do not know the story behind. Figure out what story this photo tells, and be prepared to summarize this for the class. Pause the slideshow on your photo so we can see it.
3. In the old days, photographs were hard to produce. They took a very long time to take, and they would be printed on precious materials like silver and glass. Now, many images can be produced in a split second. What do you think are some of the effects of this change?
