How Bloom's thinking skills and Gardner's multiple intelligences were addressed:
After viewing a sample photo essay, students will collect quotes and pictures from the Internet. Students will match quotes to pictures of their families or of pictures found on the internet. Students will then synthesize the information and create a photo essay about their families. Students will explore the theme of family through the reading about family relationships, watching videos on family issues, surfing the internet for quotes and lyrics about family. Students will use their interpersonal skills to organize and develop their own photo essay.
