I wish schools would stop setting these photographically related projects if they're not going to supply the kids with the resources to find out the answers for themselves.

To magnify distance you would want to use the widest wide angle lens: then distances will appear to be greater than with a tele lens which shortens real world distances. Now if you spelled your question correctly and explained yourself better, you might get a much more sensible and coherent answer.

Do you want to bridge a wide distance? Then you would use a tele lens. Or magnify distance; i.e., make it appear greater than in reality? Then you use a wide angle lens. Normal lens keeps distances as we persceive them ...

I think Pete Andrews should settle down. Asking questions on the web shouldn't be a bad way to find answers, the web is a resource.
