Analyze a a Photo or Advertisement using the Analysing photographs worksheet (National Archive teaching resources) to see what a Primary Source photo can tell you about a time period
A good story has characters in action with a beginning, middle, and an ending. Fortunately a lot of information can be given in a single photograph, enhancing the limitations of five photographs for your story. Location, time, and atmosphere aid viewer imagination. Keep standards of pictorial beauty, but pack as many story telling elements in one photograph as possible to develop an action.
1st photo: establish characters and location.
2nd photo: create a situation with possibilities of what might happen.
3rd photo: involve the characters in the situation.
4th photo: build to probable outcomes
5th photo: have a logical, but surprising, end.

Ideas Adapted From Mark Nichols of IDEAL & Alt I PEAK Photography Presentation - Poetry – display an image. Students brainstorm descriptive words for the photo as a class then in pairs or independently put the words together in the form of a poem. Students then go take a picture of something rich in descriptive possibilities and create a poem about that image. - Creative writing – take a series of pictures and have the students rearrange them in whatever order they think would best make a story. Students then write a story about the pictures and use the images to generate a lot of detail. “The wrinkley and sun-blasted old man.” See attached
- Understanding double meanings and famous quotes. Match the quotation with the picture or write a noble quotation about the picture. Go out and take pictures that match a descriptive paragraph, sentence or quotation.
- To get the creative juices flowing. Write a caption for silly pictures. Create their own. See attached.
- Persuasive Writing -Make a collage picture like the Enquirer one attached and write a persuasive essay explaining it.
Quicktime - a multimedia framework from Apple capable of handling various formats of digital video, media clips, sound, text, animation, music, and several types of interactive panoramic images.
Resolution - Resolution refers to the pixels per inch required for good reproduction. Most output devices such as printers are geared in dots per inch (dpi). Computer screens and programs are oriented to pixels per inch (ppi). Generally, the higher the resolution (the more dots per inch), the finer the detail and the larger the file size.
Thumbnail - Thumbnails are reduced-size versions of pictures, used to make it easier to scan and recognize them. Often, thumbnail images link to the full-size image. Typical sizes of thumbnails:
