Lesson Planet Curated

Social justice is the theme of a 12-lesson unit that uses photographs to focus students' attention on and expand their understanding of current social issues facing society. Class members learn how to closely examine an image, and to consider how the photographer frames a picture to create meaning and evoke a response.
