Then, watch it a second time and as you watch note down 3 discussion questions you would like to ask Ms Newington/talk about as a class. These should not be factual questions that you can look up yourself online. Once a student has posted a question you cannot re-use it. ]]> 2025-09-08 13:45:47 UTC https://padlet.com/feig/hpbc6nqa2egydy0f/wish/3573942297 One Contemporary Reservation: A Photographic Essay veronicanewington https://padlet.com/feig/hpbc6nqa2egydy0f/wish/3573942298 Explore the photographic essay (read all the text and look carefully at the images).


Choose ONE piece of information in the text and ONE photograph that you find the most striking (surprising, saddening, thought-provoking). 


In the comments below screenshot the text and the photograph. Then write a short paragraph explaining why you find the information and the image particularly evocative, thought-provoking, emotive etc. 


You CANNOT use the same image and fact as another student in the class so 'the early bird catches the worm'.
