Thursday
Hink Pink [ last one for this week!] : The Great One’s personal watercraft.
PS - Snafu - more information!
All aspects of the speech assignment must be completed by tomorrow at 12:30.
PS to yesterday's new word - have you used snafu in a sentence yet?
1. Quick run-on sentence quiz.
2. Show me your Framing worksheet in the computer lab.
3. Complete [neatly, using full sentences] the PART 1 & PART 2 handouts for Retouching Reality.
3. Computer lab: pick a digitally altered image from the political/news/journalism arena, or a digitally altered image from the fashion/entertainment/celeb area. Show me your visual literacy skills. Answer the questions that were on the Obama/Framing sheet AND the questions/activities from last week's group Photo Analysis Worksheet [What am I looking at - people, objects, activities? What assumptions am I making when I look at this image? What does the image mean to me? What can I infer? What is the purpose of the image - to analyse, to persuade, to express, to document? Why does this image matter? Why is it significant?].
In addition, answer the following questions by typing your answers and attaching them to the image. I am looking for answers that are each 5+ sentences in length: Where do we draw the line between creativity and deception? How do the purpose and context of photo editing affect how we feel about it? What role does the Internet play in allowing us to share, ingspire, and critique images that have been edited? Print a copy of the image and annotate [write all over] it in addition to answering the questions.
People, Places, Activities in image. Assumptions/inferences you can make based on observation of the image. Questions that the image raises.
Wednesday
Hink Pink: NO REGERTS, or some other body-ink mistake.
1. Daily evidence of learning - fill it in for the work done last Thursday.
2. Go over the remaining images that we didn't look at yesterday.
3. Image manipulation: 4 Corners. Should photographs be digitally altered?
4. Today's visual literacy topic is framing. When most of us look at a photograph, we usually don't consider the critical thinking question: What is outside the frame? But we should.
Tuesday
Hinky Pinky Weeky!
"A more fitting bird of prey."
1. Reading time for the banned book while I return the your speeches to you.
2. Run-on sentence review - continues. Review what a run-on is and how to fix one. Practice identifying.
3. We will listen to 4 of short presentations about last week's images. You have 10 minutes to sort out what to say and who will say it.
4. If you have not already done so, ensure that your complete the individual work about last week's image: you were to discuss the theme [message about life, society, human behaviour] and how the image maker uses [pick any 3] composition, light, focus, framing, angle to get the theme across.

4. Today's visual literacy topic is framing. When most of us look at a photograph, we usually don't consider the critical thinking question: What is outside the frame? But we should.
5. Here are some questions you should consider in order to sharpen your visual literacy skills:
• What am I looking at? What do I see? [Don't forget to consider composition, light, focus, framing, angle in your initial examination]
• What does this image mean/suggest to me? What can I infer/assume about what I am seeing?
• What is the purpose of the image? [To analyze, persuade, express, document, entertain?]
• So What? [Why does it matter? What is the significance?]
6. Use the questions above to analyze the image below.
7. We think of the manipulation of images as a modern issue, especially with the advent of Photoshop. But the truth is images have been manipulated since photography was first invented. Go to the website: http://gajitz.com/before-photoshop-7-photo-edits-that-literally-made-history/
find out for yourself. Search out images in pairs and we will try to look at them using Today's Meet.
