In this religious education activity, students learn to carefully analyze images by having a picture gradually revealed one square at a time. This encourages students to focus on details, look for context clues, and use prior knowledge to make guesses about what the full picture represents. The goal is to help pupils improve their skill of accurately interpreting images and correcting initial assumptions based on new information.
