Process: Questioning
Watch the world around you. Reflect on your experiences.
- What are your needs and interests?
- What do you want to tell the world or remember in the future?
- What do you wonder about?
- What are the essential question(s) that will be addressed on this e-scrapbook page?
As you work your way through your project, other questions will come to mind.

- When was it taken?
- Why do you think these flags were placed here?
- How long have the flags been waving?
- Who else as seen these flags?
- What words come to mind?
- What have these flags seen in their lifetime?
If you're interested, we took the photo above outside a pioneer cemetery in southern Utah.
Explore the Past
Examine the photograph below. Consider the following questions:
- What would it have been like to be a young woman with two small children living in rural Iowa in the 1910s?
- How would her life have been different than someone living somewhere else in the US or the world at the same time?
- How would her life be like and unlike a person today?
