| Title | Projects with Photos: Sample Lessons |
| Body | Editor's Note: The following message came up in the context of using photos in the classroom. Another person suggested a good site for finding photos: http://www.worth1000.com/ I find working with photos very motivating, and so do my students (I hope so). I guess I have already shared with this group two projects I worked on. Caption Project 2002 (http://www.english4all.pro.br/ongoingproject.htm) Ad Project 2003 (http://www.english4all.pro.br/ongoingproject2003.htm) This one is new for the group: In honor of the 100th anniversary of Portinari's birth teachers of many subjects such as Art, Portuguese, History, Geography among others worked on projects about him and his work. The English Project was based on his paintings and possible titles for them. In this project students were invited to create titles in English they thought might be suitable for Portinari s paintings and glue them next to the painting . (They were not asked to try to guess the real title, though.) They had fun and learned some new words such as slingshot, cage, seesaw, scarecrow and cane.To finish the activity the real titles in Portuguese were added to each painting. Some students were really pleased by the 'closeness' they got from the real titles, others by their creativity. With this project, students could 'work' on their vocabulary as well as learn a bit more on Portinari s work. http://www.english4all.pro.br/portinari.htm Martins Pereira, K.
