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 the quality of photography is not always great. Even if you have a good phone camera, I suggest you use the school's digital slr's to learn about how to utilize camera settings.
ALL STUDENTS MUST HAVE THEIR OWN 2GB or larger 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. I would suggest an online order, or Bestbuy. I would like students to have this card by the third week of class.
