GOAL: To train students visual acuity; to observe and compare.
OBJECTIVES: Students will view slides of City Point (found in the Institute’s office) and then compare them with older photographs. Students can chart the obvious differences in comparing modern environment of City Point with the historical photos.
Complete a chart of differences and similarities. Teacher will introduce concept of environmental change. Changes due to natural events (can go back as far as the glacial period) and changes due to the intercession of civilization. (Query: are man’s changes not “natural”?)
Additional activities might include teaching vocabulary of necessary terms, placing words in scrambled order and having words to know. A test on terms and definitions should be given.
