Through the lens of photographic inquiry, we will work to come to an understanding of the meaning of “changing society.”
You will be examining images of inventions or daily life objects that occurred at the beginning of the 20th century. Examine the details of each photograph and use your inferencing skills to answer the questions:
1) What is the object in the photo?
2) What is the purpose of the object?
3) How is this different from the modern version of this object in today's society?
