EASE: Unit 2

• Find photos or take them yourself. You can gather photographs from magazines or the internet, or you can take pictures of teachers or students in the class in various poses. This can be done with students during class, or by the teacher outside of class time.

• Two to four people: You will need photos with two to four people in them. The more people in the photo, the more difficult the activity!

• Levels: Try to find or create photos with people at different “levels” – i.e., standing, sitting, lying down, etc. These will be more interesting to recreate.

Choose one photo and show it to the class, using a Smartboard, screen, printed photo, or camera.

• Choose the same number of participants as there are people in the selected photo.

• Depending on the level of the participants, you may need different prompting options, including the following (listed from easiest to most difficult):
  • teacher helps to arrange participants to match the photograph
  • another student or students help participants to match the photograph
  • participants figure out for themselves how to match the photograph

Take a photograph of the participant(s) posing; then compare the second photo to the original to see how closely they replicated it.
