I would like to welcome you and your son or daughter to the Seventh Photo-Journalism Wheel class this year, in Room 601 during 5th period, which will run for the first six weeks of school. We will learn by doing. We will learn to take amazing pictures and learn to do interviews, conduct surveys, write great articles, and post our articles and pictures on our class website, which will become the student publications website.
This class is a great opportunity to learn to take and process great digital photos. The school has a number of digital cameras for the class, but if you give permission to your son or daughter to bring their digital cameras to school, we will have enough cameras for all students in the class daily. We will learn photo composition and editing strategies, and ultimately create an entire photo portfolio for your son or daughter and the class as a whole.
Along the way, we will also interview and write about our photo topics, using an integrated arts approach, so that the two outcomes foster each step through the process.
In coordination with Mrs. Wollman, a number of our by-products may also be used in the final production of the yearbook. On this score, I encourage your son or daughter to join the yearbook group if they are so inclined to be an editor, photographer and assistant to the yearbook with Mrs. Wollman.
