Picture assignment- Friday, September 25

This activity is based on the New York Times learning blog:

You will find three pictures on the internet. Here are a few useful sites but you may search in different sites.  Make sure that you copy and paste the photos to a new document and save on your desktop.

 After looking closely at the images, think about these three questions:

• What is going on in this picture?
• What do you see that makes you say that?
• What more can you find?

Start a new page in your notebook.  Write at least a paragraph for each picture 6-8 sentences. You are welcome to write a longer story than just one paragraph. Please use the thesaurus and do not use any kind of translation device.  After you've done a rough copy in your notebook,  have a teacher check and initial. Then pick your favourite picture and story and post to this blog.  I am looking for descriptive writing, powerful verbs and imagination!
