Standing in front of Palmyra or Shadow: Pray for Protection.
Look at it from a distance and write down one word, then write down another word looking at it from a middle distance, and then sit down close to it and write down a third word. Then, share what they wrote down.
In the AI room, find all the places where they can see themselves in the mirrors. Speculate about why this might be and whether it affects how they feel about these works.

With students on Friday, we close-looked at Shadow: Pray for Protection, and I was amazed at what they discovered. One boy, who barely spoke during the whole tour, pointed out the torii gate. I had never seen it. I looked in up and the gates (there were four at the time) surrounded a shrine which was close to the explosion. Two of the four gates were destroyed. One of the remaining was destroyed by an auto accident in 1962 and the other was half destroyed by the blast and stood on only one pillar. The people call it “One-legged Torii” and it is surrounded by the destroyed parts of the Torii.
