Storytelling Through Photography — An Art & History Analysis Resource
 
What does a photograph say? This thought-provoking resource invites students to explore history through images by comparing two powerful photographs—one from the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic and one from the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.
With 27 guided questions, students will examine both differences and similarities in these moments in time, encouraging deep observation, emotional insight, and critical thinking. Perfect for class discussions, small group work, or independent analysis.
 
Also included are additional historical photographs from the 1918 pandemic, giving students a richer understanding of how society responded then—and how it compares to now.
