I look at this photo and I see art. I scrapbook, and use a lot of photos to make cards as well. This would be a beautiful fall card.
As we go into fall, not only does football season start (do I hear my husband cheering/groaning), but people also start to think about the holiday season. This is a time of year that older people, especially those in nursing homes, may be feeling shut in and lonely. A great authentic project would be to think of ways to let these people know that someone out there cares. So, maybe this photo could be printed and used to make cards for people who need some cheering up. (You totally, 100%, have my permission to use this photo!)
Staying authentic, maybe your students have a better idea, or a different target group…
