Welcome to Creative Writing/Photo 9
This 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. Even if you have a good phone camera, I suggest you use the school's camera's during class time for assignment work.
ALL STUDENTS MUST HAVE THIER OWN 2GB sd card. This is your notebook for the class. Cards will only be provided on an emergency basis, not having a card could interfere with your success in the course. These cards can be bought at grocery stores, drugstores, Walmart or Future Shop. I would like students to have this card by Mon Feb 23.
Writing Assignment #1: Students are to write a bio telling about themselves including: interests, hobbies, likes/dislikes, favourite foods, fav. books, foods etc. This assignment should be written in third person. Ex. Jane is a shy girl who lives in Comox with her two cats named Goofy and Mittens. Jane enjoys knitting in her free time ……Length 1 paragraph Criteria: detailed, specific writing ( 10 marks)
When finished, you are to find a partner in the class to read your paragraph to and get them to help you improve the piece by offering suggestions.
When finished this assignment, you are to go to Flickr ( this is a photo share site) and you are to create a new Yahoo account and password to sign up to create a Flickr account. Please use your real name, but you can make up a fake phone number, just make sure it is a Canadian number. I would like you to copy and paste your Yahoo user name and password into a word document and the save it to your Photo 9 edited folder on the L drive. If you have trouble getting onto Flickr, try to get on at home (just remember your user name and password),
Assignment #2: Using Flickr or Google images, I want you to find a photo that you think is really great, and then give me three reasons you think it is a good photo. You can copy and paste the photo into a word document and then write out your three reasons, and then save onto your computer until next day.
