Recently, a friend of mine passed me a link to their flickr album to look at some photos. After browsing for a while, I found that FLICKR has some really good and interesting photography...and it got me thinking.
With a group of students (young teens) I decided to exploit flickr a little and bring some photography into the class. We were studying adjectives of feelings and emotion at the time. During the class, we looked on flickr on the "most interesting photos from the last seven days" section. I had previously selected the photos I wanted to show the class.
While the students looked at the photos they had to write down an adjective for each to show how the photo made them feel. After, they compared the adjectives with their partners and chose their two favourite adjectives for the photos...but not tell anyone.
The students then had to go home and take a photo to reflect that adjective and bring it to class. We then made a powerpoint with all the photos, the class had to individually write what they thought the adjective was.
In the feedback session, each student had to say the adjective and the "photographer" had to say whether it was true or false and also explain their photo/adjective choice!
