Using a Power Point 'book' children will sort house pictures into “new” (c. 1930's-present) and “old” (Victorian). They will then sort them into more more precise groupings. If they are available, children can then sort pictures of buildings in their own area into similar groupings. Alternative resources available for teachers not using computers for lesson.
