History Photographs Tell a Story

Photographs show us places, events and people at an exact moment in time. If we compare photos, we are able to see how life has changed or remained the same over time. Photographs are a way of recording history. Cut out the photographs. Categorise and group them as In the Past or In the Present. Glue them onto the correct page – In the Past or In the Present. Do you know of anyone who might be old enough to remember when you could take photographs only in black and white?
