The+Terrific+Three's+DI+Activities+Workspace

** 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 infographic is a really neat way to show students The US legislative process because it will catch their attention and it caught my attention as well. I plan to display this infographic in my Social Studies classroom so that it gives students the visual aspect of it, making it simpler to understand the process. -Janice



After reading the weekly reading, I went on a search that led me to this infographic on the beginning of WWI in Europe. This infographic presents the information in a short-hand description of the beginning of WWI, battle tactics, and the highlights the significance of each event. Also, with this infographic it was illustrates and discuss imperialism, catches the readers attention with multiple visuals images, help in aiding awareness how war escalates rapidly, and easily able to be scanned and viewed to increase comprehension levels on the rise of the Central Powers in WWI. As for applying this graphic to a Social Studies unit, I would present it to the students in the beginning of the class and have them read over the graphic and answer a question regarding the the significant reason to the start of WWI. The class would discuss their issues and complete a KWL chart before moving into the whole lesson of WWI. Once the KWL was completed, the students would chose one or two events to complete an inquiry chart on the beginning stages of WWI. However, they would be instructed to research at least one or two events needed for standardize testing. After completing the Inquiry charts, students would write an argumentative narrator as an individual in the WWI time period and then the whole class perform a debate using their argumentative essays and take a stance for joining either the Central, Axis, or Neutral powers.

(Sorry for the overall largeness of this [|infographic]!) I chose this infographic for language arts, as I thought it was a super neat way to encourage students to annotate their text while they read. Having those annotations handy once they finish the text can help students connect what they already know with what they have read, which can help them with discussions or papers that pertain to the text. In this infographic, there are plenty of pictures present that could help students better remember different strategies to connect with the text. It also shows the annotation process as that- a process. This can also help students in the long run. - Kasie ||
