Let's have a little more fun with pictures!

Okay, what do you think this picture is? Put your guesses in the comments and tell why you think your guess is correct. Don't you love working with photos like this? The discussion is going to be interesting this Friday!

Hope your field trip to the High Museum of Art was terrific! I can't wait to hear all about it.

Update: First I want to give credit to my good friend, Clarence Fisher. He is the blogger who first shared this picture on his class blog. I knew he would understand why I couldn't give credit earlier because you would have discovered the answer. Now that would have spoiled all the fun of guessing! So in Clarence's post the answer is:

This scientist poured plaster into an anthill and then dug it up to see what the inside of it looked like. You can see all of the tunnels and the chambers.

I would like to thank Mr. Powell's class for participating with us and any others that took a guess. We might just have to try this activity again!  Last count we had 56 comments! We had a lot of fun!

Anne, This is my first visit to your class blog. I am intrigued by the picture. I would love to be present when your kids are discussing the possibilities.

I am always looking for activities that would work well in Special Education Classrooms. Thanks for sharing.

I definitely will be a regular visitor.

It looks like a jellyfish or something my mother ran over.

[Samantha]

Im not really sure what this is. It kinda looks like some kind of plant or something.

I think that this is a metaphorical sign of a creature left to hang and be watched in front of whoever pleases. Like in mid-evil days, when somebody was punished. But this creature was not doing anything wrong, it was accused of something it did not do because of the way it looked. Now it is left high and dry.

[alyssa]

I think that this object is maybe a plant from under the sea. Maybe like a sea urchant or some other plant.

[Shelby]

I think it looks like coral, or sometthing.

[Cj]

I think that it is a man who for the first time is trying to help his wife hang up clothes out side to dry. Only the problem he has is that he doesn'r know how to. He needs to learn how to out smart the clothes pins to hang his clothes.

[Alex G]

I actually can't put my finger on what I think it might be. It could pass maybe as a four legged tree, but other then a tree I can't think of anything else it would be.

[Timeka.Willis]
