Using an electronic whiteboard, a Year 3 teacher introduced a unit of work on Jesus with a sequence of ten images from this web site. Starting with ‘Laughing Jesus’, she asked questions such as: ‘Who do you think this is?’ ‘When do you feel like this?’ ‘What sort of things make you feel this way?’ When the first image was identified as Jesus, she asked: ‘How do you know it is Jesus?’ ‘Is this picture similar or different to other pictures of Jesus you have seen? How?’ ‘Why do you think this is? Is this important?’ As she moved through the sequence she also asked questions such as: ‘What do these pictures tell us about the artist’s beliefs about Jesus?’ ‘What questions do you have for the artist?’ Key ideas, questions and themes from pupils’ responses were added to the whiteboard around the picture and each completed ‘screen’ was copied to notepad and could be recalled if needed to support discussion of subsequent images. At the end of the activity the ten completed screens were printed out to be made available to support follow up activities
