Photo Diaries

This past week we went over photo diaries in class.  We all had to take pictures and relate them to our teaching strategies in social studies.  At first I though this was going to be a horrible assignment because you had to think outside the box. I am not typically the kind of person who thinks outside the box, so I was a litttle nervous.  However I loved the assignment.  I really enjoyed having to think of ways to express myself through pictures.  It was also really enjoyable to see how others in my class expressed themselves.  I can see how using a photo diary could work well in a classroom setting.  Having your students work together to create such a project could be a great way to teach social studies or other subjects.  I hope to find ways to icnorporate this into my classrroom.  Only if I survive block first!!!
