 * Utilize Jamie McKenzie (http://www.fno.org) idea on "Visual Literacy" using a primary document from the National Archives.
 * National Archives (http://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/ ) Analysis Worksheets
 * Follow these links for activity: http://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/ -->Click the Link: The Development of the Industrial United States (1870-1900)-->Photographs of Lewis Hine Documentation of Child Labor -->Scroll down the article and select the primary document/picture: "The Noon Hour at an Indianapolis Cannery, and then use that image to complete the Analysis Worksheet. (we could have the link on the desktop and then have them navigate in the instructions so they know how to get around at the site)


 * Here is the picture that I selected to use:**
 * Using the photograph above, use the Smart Board to Interact & circle visual clues in the picture that help you infer information for the picture
 * Using the Analysis Worksheet for a Photograph: Have each person in your group share people, objects, activities, inferences about the photo. Example: who was the leader, who is the oldest, who is the youngest, etc. As a group, create an question.
 * **Have** **one person from the group add the group information** to the Smart Board
 * **Materials Needed:** Packet of analysis worksheets, computer with internet link to get to web site, SmartBoard
 * **Additional Resources:** (packet of analysis worksheets, web sites with pictures that could be used for visual literacy activities)


 * use a chart like the one below that looks like the Photo Analysis Worksheet from The National Archives on the wall to keep track of the group responses on the Smart Board.
