This is a great example of an image I would incorporate into my future classroom. As a teacher, I believe that it is my responsibility to keep the students interested and engaged in all lessons and activities. A great way to do this is by providing them with tangible objects that bring their lessons to life. This particular picture, of a secretary bird, could be used during a lesson on of either birds or nature. I think it is an efficient picture, because the bird being displayed is not one that children will encounter out in their typical everyday lives.

Images are also necessary to include into any curriculum because they can provide a starting point or evidence that supports a new topic or subject being introduced. Due to children each having their own learning styles, some are able to comprehend and interpret knowledge with the input of hands-on activities. Pictures provide just this. They are a tangible object for the students to manipulate and study to further increase their knowledge of the subject.
