“What’s Going On in This Picture?”

I will show you a picture on the next slide.

After that go to ZOOM Breakout Room

Look closely at the photograph and discuss the three questions:

- What is going on in this picture?

- What do you see that makes you say that?

- What more can you find?

This exercise isn’t about getting the right answer; it’s about examining an image, looking for details, practicing discussing and then, based on the clues, draw 'one group conclusion'.
