Technology Connections
Students will be required to work together in a classroom setting. Internet will be used to find examples of
completed projects and research photography and language art concepts. Concepts and Terminology will be
tested online through lesson plan. Use of camera equipment and storyboard application will show if photo
and story telling techniques were used.
Students are tasked with capturing an image. From that image student must choose an item or object out of
that image that was not the focal point of the scene. Once identified students will use that item or object and
reshoot from the new focal point. This exercise repeats in 5 -10 steps creating an overall story that will be
highlighted at the end of sequence.
Materials
Camera, Computer, Creativity
Digital cameras and computers will be needed in this lesson. Although it is desirable for everyone to own
his or her own camera, it is not a requirement for the course. Students must have access to a digital still
camera and computer so assignments can be completed on time. Creativity is essential in the creation and
execution of this assignment.

At the completion of this assignment all Common Core Standards and objectives should be met. Students
should leave with an introductory to basic photography concepts including but not limited to understanding
camera basics, understanding focal length, and have a preliminary introduction to basic editing concepts
(cropping, color balance, composition). Students will also be able to tie in major elements found in a
storyline by creating their own characters, plot, scene, setting, climax, and conclusion to their visual story.
This lesson allow students to explore their creativity and think critically as the students will go through
project in stages from planning, production, editing, instructor critique, presentation, and peer evaluation.
This lesson also prepares each student for public speaking and key skillsets that will be needed during the
transition to high school, ultimately having an impact on their social development and preparedness.
