Now that the essay is done, now we can go back, edit the sentences, making your that we have enough visual imagery in your sentences so we can make photographs out of sentences.

Look for the sentences that have the highest amount of visual information. Sentences where after you read them you get a picture in your head might look like.

So in Sentence 1 that I’ve highlighted from an essay I wrote about having a terrible stutter in High School. So in this sentence I now have to figure out how to photograph this sentence. I see the thoughts being strung together as several memories of childhood tied together with string. I could take objects from home, from my childhood and tie them together with string, quite literally.

In Sentence 2 we are in a classroom setting, and the kid’s got his arms raised. I could get a point of view shot of kids pointing and laughing, or just get an over the shoulder picture of a kid with his arms up and the way the photo is edited, you can tell, he is terrified. Even though the classroom is way back in like 1989, it doesn’t matter. All we need are the arms and the presence of the rest of the class to make this count.

So I see and empty space where students are stood, then this sad kid on the other of the empty space. I would edit the photo to show how the kid feels about being left out.

So that’s what you’ll do with your essay. If you need more visual imagery in your essay, then now is the time to do it. 

After you have highlighted your five sentences, come up with a plan of how you make all five of these pictures. It can be a sentence or it could be a paragraph.

Either way, turn in your five sentences along with the five sentences/pagraphs on how you will shoot these images. Turn this in as Reflection – Plan for Essay Photos and post it to google classroom and to your visual journal Adobe Spark Page.

Plan is due on Wednesday, January 8th 2020.
