Some people have been asking for pictures, so I thought I would use a few of my art posts to show some of my favourites. I took over a thousand, a lot that I'm planning to use for my practicum. My CT said I would be teaching on meeting daily needs and wanted me to take pictures to go with that, so I have tooons. I would be willing to share if anyone wants! I asked Karim for his picture of the pyramid next to the city from his Egypt trip and used it in my practicum last year when I was doing ancient Egypt. If you can't use pictures you took, it is a little cooler to use pictures your friend took. Also, when you travel, annoy your traveling companions by constantly collecting realia! It might not make you their best friend, but your students will thank you for it!
My first night in China! ... on the floor of the Beijing airport! (waiting for morning train)
View of my city up on a hill. They live in the bowl like us! I think that will be a neat connection for students.
The reason we rarely touched seafood. Dead fish anyone?
Trough toilet. There were a few off to the side, and this is where it flushed. It was all open, with a sheet for the door. Most weren't like this, but this one was pretty memorable.
Various transportation methods for moving produce.
A mall.
Plants vs. Zombies shoes!!
One of many his and hers outfits. (also an example of mistranslation)
My proudest moment. This is one of the farmers who discovered the terracotta warriors.
love the photos Katerina, thanks for sharing! Makes me really miss Asia.
ReplyDeleteSee my comment on your next post about the value of teaching with visuals. Although this is not "art", it certainly requires an ability to "read" each photo carefully to learn about the world that it represents. It would be interesting to use the meditative, observing exercise that Carolyn showed us at the art gallery with some of these - to ask students to imagine themselves in this place!
