Rebecca brought in an excellent visual for our literature circle this week in our Teaching Science Class!
What do you see when you look at this picture?
We are reading about collaboration, and what better picture displays a deep understanding of how important collaboration is throughout history? In this painting, there are many mathematicians, artists, scientists, and even historians present in one room. Think about how our life would be if these inventors or philosophers did not share their ideas... We would not be where we are today! Everyone in our literature circle was speechless at how accurate this painting was when it comes to collaboration! We talked about the importance of science and working together, however seeing this paintings brings it complete circle.
This is a visual that I would display in my classroom! It would initiate a variety of conversations throughout the school year!
What a great picture. So glad Rebecca made that connection with us! So glad you've SHARED it via your blog!
ReplyDeleteI think all teachers should have this in their classroom, great visual reminder.
ReplyDeleteI believe that Raphael would be proud of us for drawing so much meaning out of his painting:) I can definitely see using it in the classroom to prompt many discussions.
