Using pictures to illustrate History

Grades 9-12 By Anthony Atwood

collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others.

Students will create an online art gallery with typed commentary on what the picture is and how it relates to the time period in which it was taken. For example students may take this picture and say

“World Wars have caused many other foreign countries to become involved in world mobilization as seen here Egyptian soldiers run drills under British instruction.”
