National Council for the Social Studies: A Picture's Worth

Curated by ACT

When using historical pictures in the classroom, students will need help drawing their observations together to reach conclusions about the lives of people at a particular time. Sets of photographs - along with probing questions and graphic organizers - can help students develop these important skills of authentic historical inquiry. This instructional activity presents sample photographs and explains how to guide classroom discussions. Includes sample recording charts for student use.
