After students are give many oportunities to use the digital cameras and editing materials. Each student picks a concept from a list that has been previously compiled for the lower grade.

The student or even a pair of students compose a plan of action to express the concept in pictures and words. A rubris is given to the students and a check list to help with their organization.

The students then start compiling their materials, taking pictures and organizing their plan.
