On a sunny day, a large group of people in light summer clothes stand spread out across a grassy courtyard, most with their backs to the camera. They face a long red-brick building with a row of tall arched windows. Young trees and a large dark-leaved tree frame the scene.
A black-and-white photograph shows a diverse group of people walking down a paved, cobblestone European street or pedestrian walkway lined with trees and buildings. Some individuals are talking and smiling, and a person in the background holds up a light-colored flag. A stylized, bright pink geometric butterfly graphic is overlaid on the right side of the image, contrasting with the monochrome scene.

The visible worksheet reads "mapping" with instructions about grouping similar values together, and a circular sticker labeled "Values" is visible in the bottom right. A pair of glasses rests on the table in the blurred background.
