This lesson from the Center for Educational Resources (CERES) Project is offered in two forms: Every Picture Tells a Story (K-4) and Every Picture Tells a Story (5-12). Both lessons feature a warm-up activity that involves having students work in groups to discuss a simple drawing that may be interpreted in different ways. Their findings are recorded in a table that is provided. The second part of the lesson has students focus on two images of the planet Mars and make similar observations. The culminating activity occurs when students write stories that are based on their observations and read them to the class.Assessment
The teacher might collect group stories and evaluate them. A satisfactory story will reflect accurate observations students have made of the Mars pictures and contain appropriate content for the classroom. Lesson Plan Source
