I got this photograph from - http://www.connemara.net/history/part1.aspx - and being a history teacher I saw in it an opportunity to teach a lesson on early pioneers/settlers. Although this picture is used to depict a specific town/area, it can also be used as a starting point to teach students about the history of a specific town/area/people. Students can look at the picture and using their own perspectives, perceptions and opinions, come to their own conclusion about what the picture represents. After sharing their own ideas about the picture, the learning manager can then use both the picture and students' ideas to elaborate on the subject that the picture portrays.
