Zoom In & Zoom Out
Take a look around ... wide view, mid range and something close up. Play around with how zooming in and out helps put things into perspective and in context. The close up may help tell the story or the whole big scene, or may even represent something entirely in contrast to the big picture. Travel Philosophy Discussion: Have students discuss some small things that have you noticed since they started the trip and how traveling has expanded their worlds so far.
