As an activation strategy or a reflective writing activity I often have my students take a couple minutes to look at an image and reflect on it. On a 3-column See Think Wonder chart, students write down what they see in the image, what they think is happening in the image, and what questions they have about the image. I chose to use iPiccy to add text to a photo of Antarctica. I will use this as an activating strategy for our upcoming story we will read, Antarctic Journal. iPiccy was extremely easy to use and I can see this being a useful resource for me as well as for my students to use.
