Digital Photography & Storytelling |
In My NeighborhoodOn October 28, 2009 the students participated in a workshop from 9:30 am to 3:00 pm. An instructor taught the students about digital photography and storytelling. They completed a project at home. Parents were encouraged to get involved.
Topic: In My Neighborhood (trees, stores, people, building, anything)
The students wrote stories, took pictures, then create a multimedia project (i.e. Photostory, Pixie, or Powerpoint). The best project will receive a Canon digital camera A480 as a gift.
On the day of the workshop, the students secured cameras from Ms. Spiric, ESOL Family Outreach Coordinator/Secondary Schools. They had it for 5 days to take photos of their neighborhoods. The students were given three weeks to finish the project. Parents are invited to attend a presentation of the digital stories on December 16, 2009.
All students who participated in the workshop received a flash drive as a gift. All students will receive a certificate of achievement for their hard work. |
