o Beginwitha“donow”thathasstudentssituatedinpairstothoughtfullyconsidertheconceptof“past/present.”Askstudentstopredicttheteacher’sageandlistpredictionsontheboard.Displayacoupleofchildhoodphotoswithoutsayingwhomthepicturedepicts.Allowstudentconversationbasedonguidedimageanalysistechniquessuchas:
Whatdoyouobserveinthisimage? Whatishappeninginthispartoftheimage?(Pointtoparticularareasoftheimage). Whyisthishappeningintheimage? Howdoesthisimageremindyouofyourlife?

• GuidedPractice:o DisplayoneofthehistoricimagesofHuntsPoint.Model“beingahistorian”by:a)lookingclosely;
b)lookingatallareasoftheimage;c)askingquestionsaboutwhatyouobserve;and)collaboratingwithothers.NOTE:avoidtellingstudentsthattheimagesarefromHuntsPointuntiltheclosingofthefirstdayofviewingtheimages.
Forexample,“Hmmm…thisisaninterestingimage.IamgoingtolookcloselyatwhatIobserve.[Exaggeratedlyplaceyourfaceclosetotheimage.]Wow,Iobserved…I’mgoingtolookallovertheimage.Oh,wow,inthiscorner,Ijustdiscovered…Hmm,Iwonderwhatthisisfor?Letmeaskmypartners.
Then,onchartpaper,writewhatyouobserveintheimage.NOTE:Usethisopportunitytoembedandreinforcecurrentphonicsandwritingskillsandstrategiesbeingtaught.
