What's Going on in This Picture: Using Photos & The New York Times Learning Network Blog

What’s Going on in this Picture? became a weekly feature of The New York Times’ Learning Network Blog last October:

http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/category/lesson-plans/whats-going-on-in-this-picture/

Every Monday morning the blog posted a New York Times photograph without a caption, and invites students to answer three simple questions about it:

• What’s going on in this picture?
• What do you see that makes you say that?
• What more can you find?

The feature will resume this school year on Sept. 9. Students can log in and respond to the questions online or they can view the archived photos and participate at a later time.

Great video samples of the technique:
