"If A is success in
life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and
z is keeping your mouth shut."
Albert Einstein
"Don't say things.
What you are stands over you the while, and thunders so that I
cannot hear what you say to the contrary."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Photo Essay
 A
Photo Essay is a collection of photos that tell a story. Very
few words, if any, are used to get the message across to the audience.
The photo essay may be adapted to include historical information
that is important to the content of the pictures. Adding music
or special audio effects can enhance any multimedia presentation
and set the mood that the author wants to evoke.
Have students create a photo essay on a topic related to a unit
of study. Using a central theme, concept or idea, photo essays
bring photographs, text, (minimal amounts) and sound together
using a multimedia package such as PowerPoint or Windows XP free
Windows Movie Maker. A photo essay is a project that allows students
to use higher order thinking skills. Another idea is to have students
take their own digital pictures and create a photo essay using
original work. Scanned images of student art work may be used
as well.
Teachers may use photo essays to introduce a topic of class discussion,
or students may create a photo essay of any topic they have researched.
