Teaching photo interpretation using jigsaw puzzles

Learned this from Lesson posted on edumall by Gerald Tay. http://subjects.edumall.sg/cos/o.x?c=/subjects/pagetree&func=view&rid=6755 (you must login to edumall to see this) He actually made use of the jigsaw planet to create jigsaw puzzles online to stimulate the student's interest in the learning of the topic "Geography of food".

The jigsaw puzzle is quite an interesting tool - I will actually use this in photo interpretation for the topic on coastal studies - http://www.jigsawplanet.com/?rc=showpuzzle&pid=330ea41ef34d&ret=%2F The teacher create the puzzles online and the students will have to highlight the main features on the photographs and relate them to what is being taught - eg. landform, process, coastal protection etc.



Play the "FB IMG 1554079059390" puzzle! https://www.jigsawplanet.com/?rc=play&pid=38ebac73ffc7



What are the coastal features shown in the photograph? 
How are they formed? 
Which type of waves are associated with the formation of the features shown in the photograph?
