Description

This is the complete collection of lessons for a semester long Digital Photography course.

Students will progress through each of the 13 lessons and learn more advanced techniques through the semester in these lessons:

* History of Photography (worksheet set, PowerPoint & quiz)
* Photography Basics
* Camera Controls
* Composing Pictures
* People Pictures
* Lighting (direction and quality)
* Black & White (series of 4 lessons)
* Macro Photos
* Action Photography
* Constructed Identity poster
* Unit/Semester Cumulative Test (note: some questions will need to be removed if you are not using the Davis Textbook)

Many of the lessons includes:
* A summary page that relates directly to a from the Davis "Focus on Photography" textbook (Don't have this textbook, the lesson can still be taught without that enrichment).
* Questions that relate to the chapter that can either be used as review, a quiz or a fun game (you choose what to do with the questions/answers)
* Every lesson has a PowerPoint that fully explains the lesson.

A generic rubric worksheet and handout are also included.

All you will need to do is provide the cameras and grade the photos.

If you would like a year long photography course please purchase the first semester here: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Digital-Photo-Complete-Semester-2-Course-Photo-Manipulation-2567580

***NOTE: These lessons are the exact lessons I bundled together from the individual lessons I have posted with a BLUE icon that start with "Digital Photo". PLEASE do not purchase both, they are the same material.

I have taught digital photography for 10 years and have used this lesson for years with great success. All my photo lessons on TPT are designed to be taken with a point and shoot camera.

Solid semester-long photography curriculum with clear progression through fundamentals. Covers essential topics from history to composition to action photography. PowerPoints and worksheets included for each unit. Works well with basic point-and-shoot cameras.

Information in the slides was helpful and educational. It provided the basis of a lesson. The worksheets in this bundle were only helpful if you had the book the questions referenced. It would have been more helpful to include note-taking worksheets that students have to fill out while they look at the slideshow and listen to a lecture. My students did not engage much with this material. We tried the assignments given at the end of the slideshows for units 1 and 2, but students were not into the projects. The assignments did provide a way for beginners to practice new skills – which is good. In order for high school age groups to engage with the material, I think they need something that is more fun or inspirational to work towards. The photos used in the slideshows were poor quality. A few of the images looked pixelated. Some images looked stretched or were facing the wrong direction seemingly to make them fit on a slide with text. For use in a photography class, I expected the images to look better and show good quality craftsmanship that we want students to work towards. It would also have been nice to see more diversity of ethnicities in the photo examples. Most of the people shown in the example photos for each lesson are white and young children with few exceptions. Would not purchase if I had it to do over. Would not recommend this for high school age groups.

Not too stoked on this. Most of your resources go hand-in-hand with a textbook that seems to be difficult to track down. I'm going to be able to use SOME of this.

I'm sorry these lessons aren't what you were expecting. The TPT listing did mention the textbook linked to some of the lessons. I found a link to a copy on Amazon if you'd like to reference it (http://tiny.cc/du6njz).
