When I was a student, my social studies teachers did not show us pictures from history and have us ask questions. I really liked how we were to come up with the questions we had about the picture with little to no background knowledge. We were forced to analyze the picture instead of having facts spewed at us.
I will be using this strategy in my classroom, or some variation that fits with my students, in order to engage my students and create interest.
I think I could use this with students in all grade levels, but how I execute it will be differentiated based on the needs of my students. I could also use this as a differentiation technique with high level learners and lower level learners.
Overall, I thought this strategy was fantastic and turns the thinking and instruction back to the students.
