Arts Now Learning: Cultural Characters [Pdf]

Curated by ACT

In this lesson plan, students look at photographs (portraits and people, historical events and images depicting strife or struggle, etc.) based around a given time period and contemplate the impact a photograph has on the perception of a society or historical event. The images act as an impetus for them to write monologues and create improvisational skits.
