Over the past few weeks I've sporadically taken photos to use in lessons with the intention of them stimulating a discussion. Each photo relates to a number of different topics that we have studied so far in the microeconomics half of the course.

I've bundled them together for colleagues to use. I'll be testing it with my own groups over the final couple of days of the term to see what links they can make and why.

Click the following link to download the PDF. If you do use the activity and find it useful, I'd be interested what concepts were discussed, so please feel free to get in touch via Twitter! I already know that I need to hone my photography skills!
