About this Event

What do photographs featuring people of the past teach us about history? During this workshop, students will analyze turn of the century photographs of life in mill villages in the Blackstone River Valley. They will learn to cite evidence from the photographs, infer information, and draw conclusions by filling in the graphic organizer "I see… I think… I feel… I wonder…" This activity will last 30 minutes. It is geared towards children around a fourth-grade level (or higher).
