Here’s the information you will need to present:
One paragraph for each of these that you will read.

- What type of photography are they known for (Sports, Landscapes, Portrait, Street Photography, War, etc.)
- How they made a few of their famous works.

Step 2: Do as much research as you can on your photographer. Feel free to copy and paste information, but when you write the paragraphs put it in your own words, your own voice.
Step 3: Write out the paragraphs of what you will talk about in your audio slideshow. Think of yourself as a host of a radio show.
Step 4: Once you have your written paragraphs completed, find images that will play while your recorded audio plays. Think about how each photo would be on the screen for between 5 and 10 seconds.
Step 5: Record the audio of your reading your paragraphs. Read it like you are presenting. But you have the luxury of being able to record it as many times as you want. You will not be reading this live, it will be a recording.
Step 6: Load the audio of you reading your paragraphs into We Video. Load the images too. Here’s the link for help using WeVideo
Step 7: Add some background music by going to freeplaymusic.com
Step 8. Export your project.
Step 9: Upload your finished file into Google Classroom.
