Yearbook

Week of Nov. 23rd-24th

     Unit 1- Photography

     Unit Question:  What makes a good picture?

     Enduring Understanding-  There are many ways to take a good picture. First you must have a goal and document the outcomes of the event or game.  Always consider these 3 points: 1.  Is the picture good photographically? 2.  Does it tell a story? 3. Is it appropriate or legal?  Taking photos from different perspectives also helps to produce good photographs.  Remember the following photgraphic approaches: portrait, landscape, my generation, rule of thirds, leading lines and compositional motion, bird's eye view, worm's eye view, action shots, framing, implied lines, oblique view, repetition.

     Area of Interaction-  Human Ingenuity
