Ms Chase is away today

I would like all students to work on this assignment today. Browse Flickr and find three (3) photos that you believe are exceptional photos. Using rules of composition and what you know so far about photography, explain why each photo is exceptional, and why you chose it. You can copy the photo into word, then write up the explanation. If the photographer does not let you copy the photo, please copy down the URL (web address) and describe the photo. When finished, students should continue taking and editing photos. I will be doing some marking at home today, so I will know who is behind. Cameras can be signed out....be very respectful of returning them on time and in good order. And make sure you all return to class 10 min prior to the end of class. Use your time wisely, we are only 3 weeks away from our first report card. Time has a way of slipping away if you are not using it effectively. See an updated list of assignments below.
