Think carefully about the story your photographs tell.
- If the only connection between your photographs is you, you may need to make a connection e.g. comment on your changing appearance or perhaps make a series like "the first time I..." (had an ice cream, went to the sea, rode a horse etc.)
- Remember the story will be recorded to be heard by your audience - not read by them.
- Make sure you create a dramatic first sentence and a satisfying final sentence.
- Word process your story (Word or Google Document).
- Your story should be not less than 100 words and not more than 200 words (250 at the outside)
- Read your story aloud several times. Expect to edit it to make it sound better
Extension:
When you are happy with it, copy and paste it into cueprompter and practise it. You could try making a rough recording using Audacity and listen hard to the recording for pace, rhythm, expression and key phrases.
Homework: For the next session you will need to bring in your photographs.
- If they are on your computer, upload them to a filing page on your Google Site or VLE or bring them in on a USB drive. If you need to bring a camera or phone remember to bring leads too.
- If they are prints: either scan them and save them to your Google site/VLE/USB drive
or bring them to your lesson to scan them
Remember prints are very precious - so bring and store them carefully. If in doubt ask for somewhere safe to keep them.
