Learning Target:

• I can work on the rough draft of my personal essay I can share with Strong by tomorrow.
• I can brainstorm 5 ideas for what I want to do my New Year New You photos.

Steps:

1. Use the plan you recorded in your visual journal to write out your personal essay .
2. Have a first draft ready to show (500 words minimum) by tomorrow.
3. Read over the requirements for the new photo challenge: New Year New You.
4. Brainstorm 5 different ideas for New Year New You.

Thursday:

Turn in your rough draft for Personal Essay. Start sketching your two ideas for New Year New You.

For this next assignment, you will set two goals for yourself and photograph what those two goals look like. In the example above, my goal for last year was to be brave. This photo, with my daughter hiding behind a telephone pole, shows what its like to NOT be brave, to hide behind things, and this year, I have come out more with my own personality and feelings, even if those feelings are complicated or difficult.

Step 1: Write down 3-5 goals you’d like to see yourself do in the new year. This could include:

• Better attendance
• Do Better in School.
• Eat Heathfully.
• Get More Sleep.
• Get More Exercise.
• Meditate.
• Learn to Play a Musical Instrument.

Step 2: Choose two goals to sketch out using the graphic tablets or draw it by hand.

Step 3: Use this sketch to plan out lighting, camera angles, etc.

Step 4: Make the two photos.

Step 5: Add text that says what the goals are and that the font and color matches the mood of the photograph.

What I’ll be grading you on:

• In focus images.
• How well the goal was illustrated.
• Font and text matches the mood of the photographs.
