Identity is a major focus of the grade 6 curriculum both in ELA and in Arts Ed. therefore I wanted to create a project that could be incorporated into both subjects.

Project: The students were given the task to create an infographic that would represent themselves – a bio that includes their personal values and opinions. I invited Arlene Low into the class to introduce the project and explain what infographics are.

Demonstration of Creativity: Photography, by nature, is creative. Throughout
this course, students have demonstrated the use of the photographic triangle,
used different lenses, critiqued images, explored photojournalism and product
photography, manipulated and adjusted photographs, and much more. Although
the main focuses of Photography 20 is to acquire knowledge and develop skills in
photography, it’s the creativity that can make a photo stand out. This project
allows students to showcase their creative talent in a practical and relevant
manner.

This excellent activity was used with our PeBL Mentors at Sun West. An explanation is included in the PowerPoint slides attached, and the other resources are provided as Word Documents.
