Tableau

A tableau is a still picture or "snapshot" of a scene created by a group of people. To prepare for our semester showcase, students practiced with historical photos. The photos were displayed on the Smartboard and each group had a brief period of time to study the picture and re-create the image in front of the class.

These class photos reveal the true emotions exhibited by the pictures and students. All three classes enjoyed this warm-up lesson before the final test - using their newly learned tableau skills and writing a script for our historical timeline.
