COMMUNITIES

In class we did a project in which everyone brought in a picture of what they see when they look out of their front door. In my picture there is a field that I see when I look out my front door but this was not the case for other people in the class. In some pictures there were parking lots, houses, sidewalks, etc. Each student took their picture and compared it to another one that was brought in. In each picture there were similarities but also differences when comparing them to your own picture. After comparing the images, each person put their picture up on the wall and we all looked at them and discussed what we saw and what we could gather from each picture. This can be used in an elementary class when learning about communities and explaining that there are some similarities and differences in each type of community. We can all relate something in each picture even if we do not live around it ourselves.
