- Carry out a web search using the 'Google' search engine for two place-based images. One place should be local and known to you; the other should be more distant and unknown. Print out or copy and save the images to your desktop, where permission is given that you may do so. Google
- Now click on the Text icon and use the 'Comparison framework' (adapted from Grimwade, 2002) to compare the two images. A completed example, 'Comparison framework: example', has been provided there as a guide.
