Introducing Photography: Visual Elements
Based off of a previous project; I noticed that my student’s needed extra support and instruction on the following 4 visual elements:

Pictures I used to discuss the visual elements:
Framing Angle
Scale
Timing
Background knowledge Technology teacher has been working with
students on photography SS teacher has already started a similar
project and has discussed the content associated with this lesson. I am building off what she started.
Small group project!!!! Students had to chose a good or service in our
community to complete the assignment. Students had to choose things that were close by
our school that we could walk to. Students then had to do a little research about
their selection and create 2 different writings. This took place during guided reading time for a
week with 7 students!!!!
Places that provide a good in our community.
Businesses that provide a service for our community.
Writing 1: Acrostic Poem Students completed a little research and talked
with others in the group to gain enough information.
We completed a group acrostic poem about chocolate to help guide them in the write direction.
Students worked on a rough draft and then they discussed their writing with me.
Once I met with them then they could begin their final copy.
Writing Format: Acrostic Poem
Another Example: Acrostic Poem
Writing 2: Letter format Students were asked to write me a letter
including the following . . . What did you take a picture of in our community? Who are the producers and consumers? Is this a good or service; or both? In what ways does this help our community? Do you parents/you use this good or service?
How often?
Writing Format: Letter Example 1
Letter: Example 2
What did I learn???? I really enjoyed watching my students take part in
this project. They were so engaged and ready for guided reading each day.
I could see a difference in their writing as well. It was like they really had a reason to write. They were also more creative with their writings.
Students were more actively engaged due to the use of technology.
Future plans . . I would really like to integrate photography and
writing more into my writing lessons and try to incorporate photography into my reading centers. (Writing about a photo.)
Based off of this SS project; I would like to try this whole class and let them go out with their parents and see what they can come back with.
I would also like to use a brochure for a writing format. I feel like that would fit well with describing locations in a community.
