Digital+Photography

=Digital Photography=

Students as creators of the photos for their stories allows for making the //photograph// to tell the story, rather than an //image// shaping their story.

Students can be very creative with the images they make. Students that otherwise might not engage in the writing process, become visually engaged in telling the story.

What story is being told here?



When students are asked to create photos to tell the story, they put themselves into the story. You can encourage this shift by making their size different. You are a work telling the story. Students then make their photos while lying on the ground.

Visual learners have opportunities to say what they may not be able to in written form.

What stories could you tell from a selection of photos to put together?

How about for Science Journals?

What might you have to say from these student photos?
