Summary and Objective
Students will understand that photographs capture the changes that occur over time. After examining photographs of various locations in the town of Montague students will identify and record these locations through drawings or photography. Through small group discussion the students will chart comparisons and contrasts of their then and now pictures.

Step 1.
The students will view the online photograph collection and discuss what location each photograph depicts.
Step 2.
The students will then identify what village in the town of Montague each student is from to determine the group they will work with.

Working in small village groups the students will make a list of the places identified.
Step 4.
Each group of students will pick the photograph location that represents his/her village to recapture in the present.
Step 5.
The students will draw or photograph their assigned location. A disposable camera will be supplied for each group of students.
Step 6.
Working with their village group students wil record their comparisons and contrasts of their "then" photograph and their "now" picture.
Step 7.
Each group of students will share their pictures and present their findings to the whole class.
