A revolutionary visual literacy methodology that transforms students into eagle-eyed photo-detectives who search for – and decipher – visual clues. While sharpening observational, analytical and critical thinking skills, Photo-detectives gain insight into different cultures and countries; find information about the environment, climate, economy, history, and gain a deep sense of empathy. Because photographs are so specific, students learn to differentiate between assumption and fact, and to find connections between the global and the local. It’s about slowing down, learning to ‘see’ deeper, and to understand what you see – invaluable skills that will help them through a lifetime.
