Rather than teaching an entire course or unit around memory, you may want to teach a single elective class that covers some of these themes. Many of the lessons from the broader course can be easily adapted into 1- to 3-day elective lessons. Here is a particularly strong one-time elective lesson that you can easily implement into your classroom. This one-hour class examines the relationship between photography and memory. Before info below!

Goal: to gain an appreciation for the similarities and differences between photography and memory.

Feel free to lead the class however feels most comfortable to you. Also, you should feel empowered to modify/add/remove questions and discussion topics and you see fit.

As always, please comment below with any suggestions or advice you might have, especially if you have tried using this lesson plan, to help future teachers who may want to use it.
