Instructional Ideas
- Implement technology by using an app that allows learners to take photos with a tablet or other device and put together a collage or other collection that expresses the message, such as Pic Collage or Book Creator (there are many other options)
Classroom Considerations
- During the discussion stage of the plan, learners examine various magazines that show examples of photojournalism; you'll need to gather magazines or get access to online versions for students to explore
- It is unclear whether the whole class tackles the same topic, or if each small group selects a topic; you can choose what works better for your class
- You will need a way to develop or print photos
Pros
- Includes model photographs, vocabulary, extension ideas, and more to help you conduct a successful lesson
Cons
