This lesson focuses on a historical image: Londoners who took refuge in the underground, during WWII, Germany's attack on London. There are many parallels with today's current events. How can you change this lesson to your own subject?
Prior to starting:
Select an artwork or image. This approach is effective with various types of works, allowing you to be daring and experimental in your choice. If you usually follow classroom norms for respectful discussions, consider reviewing them beforehand. As this routine encourages learners to make personal connections, establishing an atmosphere of trust and care is particularly crucial.
Facilitating the Routine:
The first step, SEE, encourages learners to engage in close observation. Prompt them to describe what they see without jumping to interpretations or opinions until the THINK step. If desired, you can enhance the SEE step by employing strategies from the Viewing Moves.
Moving on to the THINK step, learners are encouraged to share their thoughts about the artwork. While all thoughts are welcome, you can provide some direction by asking questions like: What is happening in the work? What could it mean? What led you to that interpretation?
During the ME step, learners are asked to make personal connections, making it crucial to establish a safe and trusting atmosphere. Consider modeling this step by sharing your own personal response first. If you're working with a larger group, conducting this step in pairs or trios can be beneficial. Additionally, you can support the discussion by utilizing strategies from the Dialogue Moves, such as NAME or STORYTELLING.
The WE step, through the request for "bigger stories," encourages learners to establish connections beyond themselves. To aid them in this, ask how their personal connections from the ME step might relate to larger themes of human experience. This step might be challenging for students, so similar to the ME step, modeling your own reflections as the facilitator can be helpful.

The "Me" step asks pupils to make personal connections, so it's a time when a safe and trusting atmosphere is particularly important.
Perhaps you could share your own personal response first. If you are working with a large group, it may be helpful to do this step in pairs or trios.

The "We" step invites pupils to look for connections outside themselves.
One way to help them do this is to ask them to think about how the personal connections they identified in the "Me" step might relate to larger themes.
This step can be challenging for students. As with the "Me" step, it can be helpful for you, the facilitator, to model a response by sharing your own reflections.
