Key Idea
I wanted my students to get the sense of the wider world, explore different viewpoints, evaluating information on global issues on the media, think critically. I chose photographs as a stimulus to develop deeper thinking and analytical skills, through the lens of the Coronavirus pandemic.
This lesson was delivered online during lockdown in Turkey.

Who is it for?
Age range 15-18 years.
I ran this activity with 32 students aged 15. They were divided into two groups and then each put into breakout rooms (4 groups of 4).
This activity was also trialled with 10 students aged 17 (2 groups of 5) and completed in 1 session of 60 mins.

Uğur Gallenkuş: Artist juxtaposes two different worlds in one photo collage (Euronews 2019)
How long does it take?
1 x 60 minutes
Step 1 - Introduction
Introduce work of Uğur Gallenkuş - What is the vision/theme for his photography? What message does he want to convey?
Place students into breakout rooms (groups of 4 or 5) and provide each group with a different photograph. Ask students to write captions for their photograph and give a reason for their comments.

Step 2 - What Next?
Visit each breakout room and elicit their captions and reasoning. Return to the main room. Share each photo with the whole group and ask "How does this photo make you feel ... and why?" Students can respond verbally or write a response in the chat box.
Step 3 - Reflection and Evaluation
As a reflection activity, I wrote "coronavirus impacts" on the whiteboard, circled it and the students used the annotation tool to create a word-map about the impacts of the coronavirus around the world and in our country (Turkey).
