The Challenge

Challenge students to take 10 photographs, capturing people living their everyday lives in your school community. Play with composition and reflect together on who makes up the school community; students, teachers, other staff, parents? What spaces do they occupy around your school?

You could use school tablets or cameras to take these photographs, but remember to talk to students about the importance of asking permission first. The images could also be made by drawing or painting if this is more accessible for your class
