1. If it is difficult to darken an area of the classroom try making a large cardboard box lightproof by covering any gaps and lining it with black sugar-paper.

Make a small opening on one side and hang some thick black material over it in the manner of early cameras. By putting your head up under the material and looking through the hole it should be possible to make the box very dark.

Pictures could be pasted onto the back of the box. Light could be introduced gradually by lifting up the cloth in degrees.
