** DIGITAL IMAGES (DI) ACTIVITIES **
====**Directions:** Work together to complete the activities below. You should have a **group leader** //(to keep you on task)//, an **archivist or two** //(to type and post onto your group's wiki page)//, and a **timekeeper** //(to move you along the steps)//. Each group member should contribute ideas and participate. Each of you should serve as a **photographer** in the process at some point. Click the edit tab to begin adding your information and digital images below! Have fun!====

1. Let’s exercise your ability to //re-see the world in creative ways!// With your group, take 7-10 minutes or so to find the following and take pictures of them with your digital camera:
====2. Edit pictures as needed, but you will want to send and save your pictures so that you have access to them as files that you can upload into your wiki page in the table below. Post them here below using the File upload function once you click Edit! You may need to resize them once they are posted (you can do this by using the small sizing squares on the sides of the image to make it smaller). (5-7 minutes)====
 * ====An image that represents a letter from the English language alphabet====
 * ====An image that represents a number====
 * ====An image that is particularly interesting and might just be dynamic in and of itself OR symbolic of something else... (think creatively here:)====
 * ====An image that is representative or symbolic of your group in some way (think very creatively here!)====

Using the young adult novel that your group identified, you will create a //**YAL Book Photo Essay!**//
====1. As a group discuss what you feel are the most important scenes, events, and quotations from your novel. Discuss why they are important and how they contribute to the meaning and impact of the novel on the reader. What is / are the message / messages conveyed through these scenes, events, and quotations.====

====2. Next, identify a mix of at least 5 key scenes, events, and quotations from your novel which are reflective of a thorough understanding of the novel as a whole. Consider your choices of key scenes, events, and quotations not only as a progression that helps tell the story of your YAL book, but also one that gets at the book's deeper meanings and impact on the reader. In other words, consider how the progression of your images help convey the books's impact and message!====

====3. Afterwards, search online for and choose images that best represent these key scenes, events, and quotations from your novel. While some may be literal, don't limit yourselves -- be creative and look for images that are symbolic and compelling in representation as well. If your book has been adapted for the screen, do __NOT__ use any stills from the movie adaptation. Avoid stock photos featuring the book cover or other promotional photographs as well!====

====4. You may want to work in pairs in your small group and divide the search for images up after you've identified your key moments and quotes. You may add to the table to include 1 or 2 more images if you want to, especially if there are additional moments you want to include / represent. Otherwise, you need at least 5 key representative images. Provide the image source (e.g., title, photographer's name & year; image URL; etc.).====

====5. Finally, provide a brief annotation explaining the significance of the image in relation to the book, including the quotation if applicable. While you do not need a quotation for every image, you should include __at least 2 key quotations__. In crafting the annotations, you may consider personal connections you may have made, but also consider how the image might represent the author's purpose and intent with the novel. Consider too whether the images make you associate with and reflect upon our contemporary world today. If so, how? What connections might exist between the world of the novel and our world today (especially with regard to young adults)?====

|| -This is from Jess’s point of view when he was reflecting on how Leslie beat him in the race. He was humiliated, yet in awe of her talent. || -This picture represents the idea that everyone has different strengths and weaknesses, which should be celebrated. Jess and Leslie were similar, but had a lot to learn from each other. They were able to become friends regardless of their differences, including the fact that it was unpopular at the time to be best friends with someone of another gender. Leslie showed Jess her love for art and beauty, which he began to embrace over time. || -This swing represents the one that Jess and Leslie used in their fantasy land of Terabithia. The picture shows that it is in the middle of the forest, just like Terabithia was. Although the swing looks enticing, it is definitely not very sturdy, as evidenced in the novel when Leslie flies off of it and drowns. || -This gravestone is meant to symbolize the death of Leslie. There are flowers growing right beside the grave, which shows that although some lives must come to an end, there is still room for beauty to grow and blossom and for new lives to begin. When Leslie dies, Jess decides to show his little sister May Belle Terabithia, to keep the kingdom and love alive. || Quote: “There’s a rumor going around that the beautiful girl arriving today might be the queen they’ve been waiting for.” (p. 128)
 * “She ran as though it was her nature. It reminded him of the flight of wild ducks in the autumn. So smooth. The word “beautiful” came to his mind, but he shook it away and hurried up towards the house” (28).
 * Last line of the novel, spoken by Jess. Talking about sister May Belle taking over Leslie’s role in Terabithia in order to keep the fantasy, and Leslie’s memory, alive. ||

**DI ACTIVITY 3**
**This can be used in a history class, talking about how the role of women in STEM careers have changed over time. It will give both girls and boys insight on the change in gender roles over time and why they evolved the way that they did.**

This infographic can be used to help Social Studies students understand two different cultures by comparing and contrasting them. By seeing tangible similarities and differences between the two, students will gain a better understanding of the two cultures in question.
