HOMEWORK: Before your next session make a collection (6-10) of photographs of you, which tell a story.
The story might be about one afternoon or 10 years. The photos can be digital, print or both. You will not need to bring the photographs into school for the next session but you will need to be familiar with them, as you will be writing a script for them.
