Explore how photographs can represent a whole story to a viewer. Middle schoolers work on narrative writing techniques in this lesson, focusing on photographs from the New York Times to write first-person descriptive narratives. Additionally, you could bring in your own photographs, or have class members bring in photographs that they could use to write an autobiographical narrative.
