Reflecting on past projects: The Best Part Of Me

JULY 2020





In the process of being stuck at home due to Covid I have been using the time to try to clean up old files and go through emails and backup drives...I came across this project that I worked on at TIS. 

2014 - The Best Part Of Me - A collaborative project with writing & photography

Recently the Gr. 3-? class completed a writing project based on Wendy Ewald's book, The Best Part of Me The students needed to pick a body part that they felt was their best part. Then they had to write a short piece to explain why they feel this way.  This became a collaborative project as the high school multimedia students visited the Gr. 3's to be their official photographer. 

The multimedia students were given the challenge to create an interesting and meaningful image of the chosen body part. Photographers were encouraged to try different camera angels, different lighting styles and get as close as possible to the subject. The results were stunning. Each Gr. 3 student had an unique photograph to help the tell their own personal story.  The high school students were able to show off their photography knowledge as well as demonstrate their leadership skills as they organized each student for each photo shoot of the "best of me".
