Activity: Students will take a series of three photographs which create a chronology or narrative.
Age of Pupils: Middle School Students
Objective: Students will explore digital photography and learn the art of storytelling. By limiting the series to three photos, students must be concise and deliberate in their choices.
Materials: Digital Cameras, Photo Paper, Laser Printer
Discussion Questions: What are the parts of a story? (Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action), How many words do you need to tell a story? Can you tell a story with only images?
Implementation: Cameras must be handed out to all students and students must have at least an hour to plan and shoot their photographs. Once the activity is completed, there should be a break for the teacher to print the photographs. Then the students should order their photos and display them.
Follow-up: Allow students to examine their classmates' photographs and write their own stories based on the narratives in the series.
