WHAT TEACHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:
♥ I loved having the students think about the meaning behind the images!
♥ I used this as an introduction to an immigration unit. My kids loved using these photos in groups to do a photo analysis, make inferences, and discuss! We closed our unit by revisiting these and discussed how our original analysis changed due to new learning and understandings.
♥ Great intro to our study of immigration.
