ALPHABET GROUP PROJECT

STATEMENT OF LEARNING: We’ve been learning about the way common lines and shapes affect photographs. Now, you get to harness lines and use your attentiveness and creativity to find the alphabet in everyday items!

YOUR MISSION: In groups of 2 – 3 people, you are to find a way to creatively express each letter of the alphabet. You will have 26 photos – one for each letter of the alphabet. You will display your final product using PowerPoint or Impress (your choice).

EXPECTED OUTCOMES:
• PowerPoint or Impress slide show with all 26 letters of the alphabet depicted
• Display proper work ethic and group participation
• Organize and present your photos and project
• Evaluate your photographs for composition, technique and possible improvements

GRADING:
As a group, you will present your work to the class. Your grading criteria will be based on the following checklist:
