Geography at key stage 3 (Year 8)

Unit 12: Images of a country
Section 3: What messages are given?

Objectives

Children should learn:

to use photographs to compare places at different states of economic development
to apply their knowledge to locate a photograph of a place

Activities		Outcomes
		Children:
Give pupils, in groups, three contrasting photographs, eg charity pack of Brazil, tourist/business pack of Brazil and negative images from their own locality. Ask each group to complete a table of the similarities and differences they see, eg quality of life, building materials, pollution, weather and climate. Ask pupils to suggest a location for each photograph and to justify their choice.		identify similarities and differences within and between places, tabulating their ideas into a writing frame suggest a location for a photograph and justify their decision

Points to note

Photographs from different sources should be of the same size and all laminated, so they look as if they are all from one pack.
