workshop format

  • Meet in the IT room
  • Introduce the workshop topic (eg. photographing

people, photographing landscapes, etc.)

  • Provide black and white photocopies of the relevant

part of the workshop. Read through with the students and discuss. The photographs have been printed out in colour and laminated for passing around.

  • Do any related ‘experiment on-line’ activities
  • Go out and take photographs and return and upload

them to the network

  • Discuss the photos the students have taken and make

any necessary adjustments (eg. brightness, contrast, cropping, etc)

Content - Language balance?

Please look for ways to use the photography workshop to develop and extend the students’ English. For example:

  • Ask students to keep a photo journal
  • Encourage discussion of photos. For example, if the subject is people,

this provides a perfect opportunity to talk about appearance and

  • character. If the subject is landscapes, encourage the students to describe

what is in the picture.

  • Encourage ‘critical’ discussion of the photos: what they like / don’t like

and why. How the shot could be improved. How it was taken, etc.

  • You could organise a competition for the best photos in each category –

people, nature, movement, abstract, etc. This will certainly get the students discussing the relative merits of each photo.

  • Encourage the students to produce photo stories (see article ‘Using

Digital Photography with Young Learners’)

Photo workshop version 3 implications

  • Increases student choice / responsibility
  • Can be more collaborative
  • Can ‘Turn the classroom on its head’
  • Frees the teacher to concentrate on

language Making students responsible for content:

SLIDE 26

Photo workshop version 3 results

  • Students fully engaged in learning
  • Creativity released: students produced

more and - on average - better photos

  • Students used more language than

previously - as a natural, integral part of the process

SLIDE 27

In conclusion

  • Mixed age / ability classes
  • High element of choice
  • Students responsible for content
  • Student to student teaching
  • Learning real life skills
  • Engaging with the real world
  • Fully engaged in learning
