Pictures in Time

If you could take one picture to send back in time (up to 100-150 years ago), what would you photograph, who would you send it to and why?


Once you have posted your response, read the responses posted by your peers and reply thoughtfully to at least two other students.  Compliment strong points, make connections, ask questions and build on ideas shared!

  3. I would probably take a picture of either a type of transportation such as a car or a windmill or a solar plan. I would probably send it to Nicholas-joseph Cugnot in 1807.

  4. The one picture that I would photograph would be me. I would photograph me to show the people in the past what we look like today. I would send it to my ancestors so that they can see what there family looks like now.

  6. If I could take a picture of anything it would be of an electric car so instead of having motorized poluting cars we could start with a better world. i would send it to a professor who could make something like this from a photo.

  7. I would take a picture of the CN Tower because it was built in 1972 and that is less than 100 or 150 years ago. I would send the picture of the CN Tower to the Egyptians because nobody who would have lived 100 to 150 years ago would have seen the CN Tower and because they would see what kind of buildings we have, and they could compare their buildings to ours.

  10. If I could send picture back in time it would be to Tomas Edison and the Wright brothers. I would send a picture of a cell phone to Tomas Edison. The reason why is because Tomas Edison was a super smart man and he invented the lightbulb. Like cell phones we are dependent upon our light bulb to light our home. Today we use our cell phones all of the time just like light bulbs. I would send a picture of a new airplane and send it back to the Wright brothers because they were the first to invent a sucessful airplane. They would see how much their work paid off and how it helps us today. paige

  13. I would take a picture of an x-ray mechine because and send it to engineers to make it because back then it could help someone in need. Say if a farmer got his leg stepped on by a cow, if they had an x-ray mechine you could see that he needs a cast. So then it could heel, and it could help many people in many ways.

  15. if i could take a picture and send it back in time i would take a picture of a really nice car (corvet or lambergine) and send it to the person who invented the car. Or I would take a picture of a laptop (macbook pro)and send it to the person who invented the computer to show them how much smaller it got because the macbook pro is like 13 inches wide and like 2 inches thick and a computer back then bairly fit in a room.

  17. If I could send one picture back in time, I would send a picture of the pollution that our world today is faced with. The person I would send this to, is the first prim minister of Canada, John A. MacDonald. The reason I would send this picture to John A. MacDonald, is because it would give him a chance to look at what they are doing and see if there is anything they can do to prevent it. Also, he was the fourth prim minister for 12 years, and there would most likely be something they can do to counteract it.

    If I did not send that picture, I would send a picture of the cod fishing graph to Lester Pearson. The reason I would send this graph to Lester Pearson is so that he can stop the cod fishing crises before it happens. This would be a good thing because it would save a lot of jobs.
