Love-in-a-Mist, Sea Horse Skeletons, Green-Headed Flies...Expanding Students' Visions with "Private Eye."

Pruzan, Kathy

Writing Notebook: Visions for Learning, v11 n1 p6-9 Sep-Oct 1993

Discusses "Private Eye," an approach to teaching which focuses on developing students as artists, writers, and scientists. Describes how this approach uses the jewelers loupe to examine everyday objects 5 or 10 times bigger, thus altering students' way of viewing the world through the change of scale and through analogy-provoking questions.
