I am learning to adjust my lessons according to how the boys interact with the material and one another. Our Thursday workshop went pretty well, though I think next time I need to get through viewing everyones photos a bit quicker. I am trying to figure out how to settle the group down...or how to tire them out before beginning the days lesson. As of right now I am using Thursdays as a review and lesson day and Fridays are our official "field days" where we take the cameras out for shoots.
THURSDAY May 20th, 2010
After the boys got a chance to view some of their best photos from last weeks neighborhood "field day" I got them started on the activity for the day. I wanted them to learn how to pay better attention to all of the elements in their photographs and to start thinking about different ways to capture their images.
I set up 3 stations. Each station had an object and a camera. The boys mission for the day was to take 10 photographs at each station. Each photograph had to be different. I asked them to take a snapshot of themselves after they completed the 10 shots at each station...so that I could distinguish one boys photos from the next.
Overall, they seemed to enjoy the activity...some were very serious about the task at hand...and others much more playful. I definitely stated that the self portrait at the end of each station was just so I could tell which pictures were who's...but some of the boys decided to get really creative with them.
