About This Lesson
Using photographs can help children both to understand others lives and to develop skills of observation; prediction and hypothesis. This activity uses photographs of Daouda; a young boy from Burkina Faso in West Africa; and his family; and a first-hand interview with Daouda. The story of his daily life can be read or told to students; who can then go on to the photgraph-based activities that link his life to their own.
