Instructions

What’s going on in this picture?

Discover a learning technique that helps students connect to actuality, and understand the world around them by looking at it (also) in different ways. 

You show your students a picture, with a hidden meaning linked to actuality, and ask them the following questions:
  • What’s going on in this picture?
  • Why do you think so?
  • What else do you see?
This helps them think critically, with the support of visuals, and stimulates them in improving their communication skills. For an extra challenge, you can apply this learning technique also when teaching a foreign language, by asking your students to answer these questions in the language they are learning.
