Imagery is ubiquitous. The analysis of images, from the past and other cultures, encourages gifted students to become aware, self-directed learners. These non-linguistic primary sources provide students — especially those with visual-spatial talents — with opportunities matching developmental levels and culture-based learning needs. This session shares resources and strategies for critical and creative growth.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will gain resources for photos and imagery to be used in classrooms to develop greater understanding of others and self.
Participants will better understand how to analyze photos as primary sources (e.g. in
Social Studies).
Participants will better understand how to analyze photos to develop understanding in other content areas.
