What can photos tell us about Brighton’s human features?

1. Photographs Human features What can photos tell us about Brighton’s human features? Developed knowledge and understanding of coastal locality using images and maps of Brighton. Applied to Hunstanton which was the main locality being studied. Using a different place initially meant that outcomes from main study were enhanced and pupils’ enquiry became more independent. The interactive whiteboard was used to pool and discuss ideas and for whole class teaching. Many activities transferred from the IWB to independent work. Recording annotations on the IWB supported the teacher’s assessment of pupil knowledge and understanding. Saving and returning to work on the IWB helped pupils to recall and build on previous learning. Cross-curricular link with Literacy. Digital images taken during visit to Hunstanton. Previous learning informed their choice of images. Using images supported the structure and content of the leaflet that was subsequently written. Collaboration took the form of using the same resource for different year groups, differentiating through the complexity of tasks, effective questioning and use of vocabulary. The teacher considers that pupils’ achievement and motivation is greater due to the use and annotation of colour photographs on a large scale.
