Welcome to Writing/Photo 9

Welcome to class

The course will run a full semester and will combine both writing and photography. Students will complete the course by producing a portfolio of written work and a slideshow of their best photography.

As a result of budget cuts and a number of cameras getting broken last year, it is strongly encouraged that students have their own camera or at the very least access to a family camera at home. Camera phones are OK, but quality of photography is not always great. ALL STUDENTS MUST HAVE THIER OWN 2GB sd card. These cards can be bought at grocery stores, drugstores, Target, Walmart or Future Shop. See photo below.

The following must be completed:
  • finish writing folder
  • signed up on Flickr and have me as a contact
  • have their Flickr screen name as their own name with (f92014) after it
  • created a buddy icon which is a pic of them
  • taken head shots 3 of other people and one of yourself (edited)
  • head shots uploaded to Flickr and made into a set entitled Head Shots
  • have purchased  their own SD card
  • find an object that has significance and be prepared to tell a story about the object to the class. (next week)
