Spot Colour Photo Assignment: In this assignment, you are to try and take photos of objects which are interesting, but also have an element which you could highlight. You will take the photo, do basic editing and then put it into Pic Monkey, and make the photo black and white and then paint the area you want to highlight. In Pic Monkey, you go to the magic wand tool, then to Black and White, then to the paint brush tool.

New Writing Assignment: Setting:
- You are going to write about a favourite place using the 5 senses. As you describe the place, I want to you to use words that create visuals, sounds, tastes, and a sense of touch. The idea here is to write to create an atmosphere or feeling.
- You may need to build a fictional story around this place or simply begin describing it. In this assignment students are to focus on the elements of setting ( time, place, description) using the senses and the concept of show not tell. (10)
Example:
from "The Old House at Home" (1940)
by Joseph Mitchell (1908-1996)
McSorley's bar is short, accommodating approximately ten elbows, and is shored up with iron pipes. It is to the right as you enter. To the left is a row of armchairs with their stiff backs against the wainscoting. The chairs are rickety; when a fat man is sitting in one, it squeaks like new shoes every time he takes a breath. The customers believe in sitting down; if there are vacant chairs, no one ever stands at the bar. Down the middle of the room is a row of battered tables. Their tops are always sticky with spilled ale. In the centre of the room stands the belly stove, which has an isinglass door and is exactly like the stoves in Elevated stations.
