Photo and Image essays
- This activity will take 40 minutes
- Keep ready pictures/ images/ slide shows for demonstrating how to tell a story.
- In addition to image in the activity, use the computer timeline slideshow, picture gallery of microscope and the timeline of communication technology to talk about how pictures, combinations of pictures and text can be used to communicate. Important areas to focus can be on (i)what is the key idea(s), (ii) how to structure it, (iii) determining when is text useful, (iv) evaluation of the method of graphic communication
- For each one of these, let the students collectively share their ideas about story line and they could do so either with a mind map or text document
- In small groups, students should pick up topics both for individual image essays and collective digital essays.. Emphasize to the students that they will build upon this in future units.
- Any image that can be used will reflect a subject area. In addition to demonstrating the students' grasp of the subject, the teacher can also use this discussion to build learning skills needed. These can be the rubrics for assessment also.
