4) Short Break
5) Discussion re: Focus of Photo Work
- Initiate a discussion and decision making process about the focus of the
photographic work: Sample focus choices include: SELF, CAREER, or
PARENTING. The choice of focus determines where you will go for field
visit(s) and the theme of the final photo project that students create.
- For example, field trips for a SELF/ ART focus could include an art gallery, artist
studio etc.
- Field trips for a CAREER focus could include local career centres or "a day in the
life" job shadowing.
- PARENTING focus field trips could involve students and their kids going to a
pool, park, family resource centre etc.
- The class can have multiple focii within the group, as long as you have enough
staff to break into smaller field trip groups ( or consider inviting a social service
college progam student along for the day to help out).
