In my social studies class, the unit which begins our year is
understandingthe eight social sciences included in "Social Studies". Other than the usual history, geography and sociology, several other sciences are included in this large umbrella. For your viewing pleasure are three sample pictures from a collection I have just created representing all eight social sciences. These three are (in no particular order) economics, geography, and anthropology. Some of these photos are a bit abstract, but I want the students to see how each of the eight sciences can be found within their own lives. 
I think I might use this assignment with my students at the beginning of next year rather than doing the ol' collage from magazines. Taking personal photos has made it much more personal and fun.
