Taking a stand

It’s a gallery walk – Yeah!! You remember the drill— It’s inference making time You have 1 minute to look at make a comment on each photo. In your ISN’s create a Notice and Wonder Chart on the left side List things that you notice that are obvious and list things that make you still wonder. (e.g., “Child is standing with a sign,” “They are holding a banner”) / (“I wonder why they are serious?” “What are they protesting?” “When was this?”).

Return to your seat Now lets answer these question as a group: What do all of these photographs have in common? Why are all of these people holding signs? What might be motivating all of these people?

Today’s objective I can get information from photographs about people who are taking a stand about something and explain the advantages and disadvantages of gathering information from photographs.

Question Based on the photographs you have looked at, what do you think the phrase “taking a stand” means? What about advantages and disadvantages, what does that mean?
