Wildcard Wednesdays! Top 10 stories in pictures
Recommend on Google+
This week’s Wildcard Wednesday extension activity uses the excellent Telegraph ‘Top 10 stories…in pictures’ series as a basis. This series aims to find ten images that represent the top stories in a particular theme over the past year, and my favourites are the economics stories, the banking stories and the retail stories from 2010.
These stories can be used as a starter activity, where students can guess the story behind the picture (excellent for revision!). You can then develop the activity in various ways, but my choice would be to ask students to find images to represent their top 10 stories for a theme of your (or their!) choice. These themes could be tied in to whatever topic you’re teaching, from labour markets to monopoly. Students could then present their images and fellow students have to guess the stories behind the images. I’m sure there are lots of ways in which this could be developed!
