Me: Inside/Outside

Inspired by the exhibition #Thisis18, presented by The New York Times at Photoville from September 12 – 22, 2019.
Lesson Overview

Students will use photos to learn about ourselves and each other, both inside and outside of the classroom. They will focus on what narratives about teenagers exist already, and the narratives they want to present of themselves.
