In your in-class group, after you have been assigned a year, go to the New York Times Interactive Website that synopsizes the last five years of the current war in Iraq. Then, using your newly-developed photo-vocabulary, choose one of the photos and discuss it with your group. What are the major elements and aspects of the photo? What, thematically is it trying to convey? What is the major source of its power? Be prepared to then "present" the photo to the class as a group.
Include, in your presentation to the class, a short recounting of what each group member was doing during the time that the photo was taken. Were you unaware, slightly aware, or very aware of the events that are depicted in the photo? Why?
