*This has to be one of my favorite images that I use with my fourth grade writers.
*I've had it for several years and always enjoy presenting it to the students to see what they think.
*There is so much to look at, observe, and study in this photograph.
*Not only do I enjoy reading what they write about, but what types of discussions come from the image.
*Each Wednesday we write in our writer's notebooks about a particular image.
*They can record their thoughts, reactions, connections, likes/dislikes, reminders, noticings, or anything else they would like.
*Some of the writers choose to write a fiction story based on the picture.
*We write between five and ten minutes and then do a quick share at the end.
*The photos always lead to lots of conversation and the sharing of ideas. I try to get them to write first and then we can share what we wrote and what we were thinking.
*The writers are really enjoying writing and talking about these photographs.
