Today is an exploratory day. Within the last 10 minutes of class, hand in a list of  three photojournalists.   I'll let you know which one is yours on Monday. The objective is not to have duplicates. If you have not made a selection, I will assign you one.
I will not accept your choices until the last 10 miniutes!

1. Spend today  exploring the works of the following photojournalists. The list is by no means exhaustive, so you might have some ideas of your own. 

2. Choose three that appeal to you and write down their names in order of preference.

3. Monday I'll tell you who you will be researching.  There should be no duplicates. If you did not give me a name, I'll assign you one.

4. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday you will have time in class to research and organize your project, which will consist of:

a. Researching the biographical information on your journalist, noting significant influences in their work and philosophical perspectives.  You will use this information to write a 200 word background report on your selected photojournalist. 


b. Creating a power point or Prezi presentation consisting of seven slidesa title slide that includes an image of the photojournalist with his or her name and life dates and a quote from the photographer,  followed by 6 images taken by the journalist

That is a total of 7 images....no more.  Only one image should be on a slide, not a compilation.


With accompanying notes, you will give an historical overview of your journalist, noting particularly the significance of their work. As well, you should be able to accurately and objectively describe the images, as well as putting them into historical context and location. 

Your analysis point is  1) what has been selected or deflected and why.

 Be able to answer the question, why does the image works. 

Note power point attributes: NO WHITE BACKGROUNDS
                                               On the slide with the picture of the photographer,                                                              you must   include a  quote from the photojournalist.
                                                One very large image per slide and a cut line only.
                                                Remember that the point of a power point is to support you and your knowledge. Know your material and talk about it. You may use notes, but should absolutely not read off a piece of paper.  Engage the audience through your body language, eye contact and  voice. 
                                            

Presentations are Thursday and Friday, March 26 and 27.  Yup, we'll probably run over to after break, but we'll go by volunteers first and then by drawing. So if your name is called- or you are not listed with a LEGAL absence- you'll receive a generous 50 points.


So what does everyone need to turn in exactly on Thursday, March 26?
  1.  A graphic organizer, a copy of which is located at the end of this blog. 
  2. Your minimum 200 word background paragraph on your selected photographer. Please include 3 sources- no Wikipedia!
3.  On the 26th  you should be ready to share out your power point to the class. 


NOTE THAT THERE WILL BE NO CLASS TIME ON THE 26th to use a computer.  
Possible topic choices. If there is someone else you wish to research, please let me know.
