Ideas for Using Digital Images

• "What's my Story?" - use the "Babymaker" and combine two pictures, have students write the narrative or biography of that creation

• In my shoes - use converse shoe design online & write about it

• Capture an idiom, rich description, a sentence using new vocabulary in a photo

• Arranging random picture in order to create a story and use the photo to bring out rich descriptive words

• Take pictures of concepts like equal fractions, line segments and make a class book with iPhoto books

• Great Ideas at the Apple Learning Interchange http://edcommunity.apple.com/ali/search.php?text=digital+images

• to give a description of your daily routine or local area for example

• to design a comic strip

• to make a record of a trip

• to put together a multimedia resource for your partner school

• 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.

Capture a story in Five. 

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.
