Do Now 12/7

       The one class I would like to add to our curriculum that we don't already have is photography. I think photography is a fun activity students would enjoy doing. In addition, it would also teach new things. The class would meet every day as an elective, just like any other class we already have in the curriculum. They would meet every day to take pictures of things that inspire them, interst them, or just something they feel like taking a picture of.
      They would go in all sorts of enviroments inside and out of the school. Also, at differnt seasons, so the qualities of each season can be captured in a picture. It would be a small class, so each student can be provided with a high tech camera they dont have to share with a partner. The teacher would then take his or her class wherever they feel is the best place to take pictures at that moment. The students would print out the pictures the take, explain what was going on and why they chose to photograph it, and also give it a name. The photography class would make students feel like real photographers, and would help any child who wanted to work in that field in the future.
