Famous Photographer Research/Presentation

Famous Photographer Presentation DirectionsStudents will be able to create a detailed PowerPoint or Google presentation about a famous photographer of their own choosing and present it to the class within a five minute time frame. This allows for every student to be an expert on one photographer in addition to learning about nineteen other photographers from their peers. Students will utilize their information and imagery research skills, writing, and critical thinking skills. In addition, this lesson is differentiated for students who enjoy using technology, learning about art history, and applying their artistic skills in their school work.
