I'd go to a "stock photo" website, where there will be a wide variety of high quality images by numerous photographers, with most of the photos conventionally composed, each of which can be easily returned to. The largest such service, www.corbis.com (and corbisstockmarket.com) is an obvious starting point but there are others, findable by any search engine.

You may have to register at these sites, but you shouldn't have to pay anything just to look, especially in "royalty-free" areas. Good luck!

The George Eastmanhouse has a great site at geh.com

The Center for Contemporary Photography which has a fine WWW presence, has a couple of exercises a parent/teacher could use to introduce a child to looking at images critically. You might try that site. Bob

Or you could go to Kodak's site (http://www.kodak.com/) where they have some tutorials on photography. (Although this might make the assignment a little too easy as the caption will say, "This demonstrates the rule of thirds.")
