Using the photographs featured on the Pool of Memories and Moseley Road Baths websites, look closely at some of the images (these could be projected onto the interactive whiteboard).
Think about:
- Who took the photo?
- Why was the photo taken?
- What can you see in the photograph? Try to describe it in detail.
- When do you think the photo was taken?
- What time of day? What year?
- What helps you decide these things?
- Do the people (if there are any) in the photo know they are having their photo taken?
- How are they feeling? How do you know?
- Why do you think we should keep these photos?
- What do they tell us about the past? About our city?
Bring in photos from home and/or use cameras to document different aspects of the school day. Compile these photos together into a class archive. Talk about what this archive would (and perhaps what they would like it to) communicate to someone discovering it in the future.
