Keywords: progressive inquiry, history, interpretation of pictures

The participants were on the 5th grade, altogether 56 students from two different classes, and two teachers. The project was carried out during nine weeks, in history and Finnish language lessons. The main idea of the project was to interpret pictures from different time periods to understand history. The teachers had uploaded in FLE3 10 pictures (or 10 secrets) from different time periods. All the pictures contained activity or discrepancy, ”a mystery”. The students formed their research groups based on the picture they selected to investigate. The students were motivated to search for information and looking for explanation for their own picture. Students’ time perspective of history developed during the project, and thus, it was easy and inspiring to start studying history afterwards.

The fact the students could see each others work was stimulating and made the learning quality better.
