Now compare both roads. Do you think their choices were influenced by sibling rivalry? Explain your answer.

Mood board 3 phases

You will create a mood board with your team  to reflect the relationship between Subhash and Udayan at three different phases in their lives. 

The images chosen should show images/pictures related to the rivalry and bond that connects them - include a radio of some sort in every phase.

Mood board

While you are creating your moodboard with your teams think about the significance of those pictures/images and what you'd like to say.

After you have finished the mood board record a  short explanation why these pictures/images reflect this time in the lives of the brothers (you can do this on the Padlet board)

How?

1. You will work in 3 teams on 1 board so you can see each other's work and it will create a visualization of the brothers' relationship.
2. You can scroll and drag your pictures in the correct place
3. Click the link on the next slide
4. Done? Record a short explanation (on the Padlet) why these pictures/images reflect this time in the lives of the brothers
