Lesson 5

g. If possible, have your student look at four or five photographs of himself taken at several different ages. Ask him to put the pictures in order from youngest to oldest and to tell you the differences he sees from picture to picture. If these photos can be used, glue them on paper in order from youngest to oldest.

Ask your student to write his age under each picture. This may be continued in a book or notebook form as a personal timeline.
