Windows
In groups answer the following questions about your picture:• Which kind of house does this window belong
to? • Do some details draw your attention?• Who is living in this house?• What is happening behind that window?• What event happened in that house? (VIP/Volkshochshule/Olching/Helene Sajons)
• Do you think this activity would work with your students? Why/why not?

Ideas for picture activities
• Ask students to bring their favourite photo to class; create activities
• Give students directions to a place where they take photos, bring to class and discuss
• Give descriptions of places, students go and take photos then compare/discuss
• Photo competitions: chose best photo, students design activities
• Create school calendar using photos taken by students
