Image of the Week activity:
A nonfiction routine and ritual that students will love is called "Image of the Week." Choose one day of the week (e.g. Wednesday) and post an image of interest on a bulletin board in the classroom. The image might be a photograph, diagram, drawing, or map -- it varies each week. Student interests, topics of study, current events, or unique images can be just a few of the reasons images are chosen for "Image of the Week." You as a teacher can select the images to post. Give the students the opportunity to submit images for the activity as well.
