    I really liked this video! The demonstration of the 5W’s as a powerful tool for investigation was very clear. Thanks TC2!

    This resource showss how to use images in a deeper way. Our students learn in many different ways and these strategies help them to see through the images for deeper understanding.

    Here’s my problem with the video - the sample image presents a stereotype of a cultural group. Am I the only one who sees this?
