A fun activity the student love! Great for analysing texts (could be use for R&W exams). In groups, students take photos of the 6 types of picture given to them e.g. perspective, reflection, jump photo etc. They then have to recreate three famous photographs e.g. Rosa Parks, Afghan Girl etc. The students then need to analyse the famous photos and their own! All resources included. The students are told that a first reaction to looking at any photograph is probably an immediate response, whether you like it, or not. However, photographs can be analysed in more detail. Almost any photograph has a lot to offer if you learn to ‘read’ it.
