Students capture new perspectives on an object, phenomenon, or situation.
This method trains students to consciously seek the surprising and undiscovered.
Students identify an object, phenomenon, or situation they want to explore from new perspectives.
They gain access to the object, phenomenon, or seek out the situation. If that’s not possible, they find pictures or videos that can be used instead.
Students look for something surprising or previously unnoticed. They use all their senses: seeing, listening, smelling, touching, and tasting.
Students take photos of their discoveries and describe the unique smell, texture, taste, sound, or detail. It could be a perspective they’ve never seen before or details they hadn’t noticed previously.
Students compile their photos and descriptions into a slideshow, or they can create a photo collage on a digital wall, such as Padlet.
