This is a great article about a teacher using a very ingenious way to get her kids to learn how to analyze and read into something using context clues, even when they don’t know what they are looking at. It’s a very clever and creative way to approach this skill set for use when analyzing Shakespeare’s text, but more importantly, a great life skill she is teaching them as well. Big props to this wonderful high school educator.
By using the NY Times weekly WGOITP post (What’s Going On In This Picture), she was able to get her kids engaged in critical thinking and analysis, which they didn’t even realize they were doing. Then, once they had a bit of experience analyzing these photos, she had them apply the same skill set to The Bard’s text. Brilliant I say!
See the entire article here, and if you do this in your class, I would love to hear about it!
