Readings for 4-6-09

Jeez, is it already a week into April?

Like Jodi, I was struck by the idea of having students create photo illustrated essays. The students bring in some photos from home. Then, they organize them into an order that can be used to tell a story. They glue them down or mount them onto something, and then they share the story with the class. After sharing orally, they write the story they want to tell.

The reason I like this activity is because it's one of the requirements of the Photography merit badge and I have quite a bit of experience in using it. It also employs a very good pre-writing technique, and shows students a very good way to organize their thoughts .
