Digital+Images

=Digital Images=

Stages of Writing - Prewriting, Revisions, Publishing Aspect of Writing - Meaning, Form, Style

Images can tell amazing stories. Students having images chosen for their story can help to develop the story. Sharing images and the words generated from the images activate prior knowledge.

You can show the students the image through:


 * a webpage they navigate to or linked from your page
 * projected on the screen
 * a processed photograph
 * a printed image

What story does this image tell?

Sunrise- a time to re-energize, start over... Road - a theme of travel, movement, going somewhere Despair - devastation, loss of hope, travesty Grandmother- someone special in your life http://cogdogroo.wikispaces.com/StoryIdeas

Copyright and Fair Use Don't forget to consider appropriate copyright and fair use. Students should be encouraged to always have permission to use images from the web and provide attribution. One way to have permission is to add either "Public domain" or "Creative Commons" to their search terms.

Part of Incorporating media into our projects means having permission to use the media. Cog Dog Roo has provided several ideas http://cogdogroo.wikispaces.com/StoryMedia

Added Note Oral Language Fluency - Students can collect images in iPhoto (or other) and then write what they will share with the class about the images. While they write to prepare, the intention of this would be sharing orally what they have researched.
