Lesson # 1 Technical natures of aperture (assignment 1)

Outcome(s) 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5
Assessment Evidence(s)
Purpose Summative
Device Do
Criteria Assignment
Students ability to finish assignment by the end of class
Learning Activity(s) Student led learning via Google slides that teaches:
How aperture controls the amount of light that enters the camera
How aperture controls the depth of field by taking a combinations of photographs with
varying apertures, and record all settings
The relationship between aperture and shutter speed, and which should be given priority and
why; e.g., fast shutter for action shots, aperture for focal plane
Common aperture types and common aperture f-stops that are associated with each type;
e.g., single detail f/2.8-4, snap-shot f/8-11, storytelling f/16-22
How photographs in cameras aperture priority mode with depth of field emphasis of clear
intent
Assignment 1 to be handed in by the end of class or before next class

Lesson # 2 Creative and technical natures of shutter speed (assignment 2)

Outcome(s) 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6
Assessment Evidence(s)
Purpose Summative
Device Do
Criteria Assignment
Students ability to finish assignment by the end of class
Learning Activity(s) Student led learning via Google slides that teaches:
How shutter speed controls the amount of light that enter the camera
How shutter speed control the effects of motion by taking a combination of photographs with
varying shutter speeds, and record all settings
The relationship between aperture and shutter speed
Situations in which shutter speed becomes the photographs first priority:
-Capturing and/or implying motion and action
-Shooting in low-light situations
Common shutter speeds for specific intended results; e.g., 1/500 second freeze motion, 1
second or longer for dusk and low light
Photographs in cameras shutter priority mode with motion emphasis as the clear intent; e.g.,
panning, freezing motion, zooming
Assignment 2 to be handed in by the end of class or before next class

Learning Activity(s) Student led learning via Google slides that teaches:
How to articulate ISOs role in the photographic triangle
The advantages and disadvantages that ISO offers to the photographer by taking a
 combination of photographs with varying ISOs
Assignment 3 to be handed in by the end of class or before next class

Lesson # 4 Practicing techniques and principles of shutter speed, aperture and ISO to make images in manual
shooting mode
Outcome(s) 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4

Purpose Formative
Device Do
Criteria Checklist
Students ability to capture a series of shots using different speeds
Learning Activity(s) Time to take a series of shots using different speeds
Worksheet to fill out including:
The purpose of the cameras light meter and demonstrate obtaining various exposures; e.g.,
underexposed images, properly exposed images, and overexposed images
Characteristics of overexposed and unexposed images each
What worked well and what didnt when practicing shooting at different shutter speeds

Criteria Assignment
Rubric
Learning Activity(s) Students will pick from pictures taken which they will choose for grading and display
Students will fill out worksheet discussing their photographs regarding:
-The triangle aspect that was most important in making the photograph- aperture, shutter,
speed, ISO
-How the composition guidelines help facilitate good arrangement in his or her work
-The technical and creative aspects of the work; e.g., quality, focus, uniqueness
