Turned in final captions, but still don't understand how to write them: Julianna, Melinda, Shanika, Kendra, Aviance
Some of their mistakes: Not listing first and last names, ex: Shanika L. Editorializing: The soccer team knows how to have fun No Lead Ins Not understanding the difference between the 3 types Not understanding that the expanded captions starts with the basic caption at beginning Not understanding the basic part of the caption is in present tense and the expanded part of the caption is in past tense Leaving out specific who, what, when or where Using Terry Parker in captions Starting caption with when instead of with one of the ways to start a caption Writing a summary of what they did in the picture? (Aviance)
PLEASE, have them redo the assignment again. There is no use giving back the paper I graded, as it still isn't right.
They will write an identification, basic and expanded caption for any two pictures in their playbook/workbook. They will write each caption separately, so that I know they know how to write each caption. Please proofread each caption when they finish, and make sure they've completed it correctly. Then have them turn into basket. The grade goes on this report card.
Call if you need me.

Finish journal by looking up the rest of the effects online. You can use your cell phone internet for this, or use the two computers that access the internet.(Sub-only some of them have internet on their phone. Please let them use it for this assignment, as there aren't enough computers with internet) When finished finding all of the terms and recording them in journal entry, on a separate piece of paper, list examples of each which your group has seen in movies or television shows. For example, a dolly shot was used in "I am Legend" when Will Smith's character is racing his car through New York City. List a minimum of one example for each camera position, angle, and movement. Be specific. Put all of your group names on the paper and turn into the basket today. All work is due today for grading term 1. On Tuesday, bring a digital camera of some sort to class.

"These days it seems that physical “truth” can easily be rearranged, rethought, or re-created outright. Any image can be made pristine, all the warts can be removed.
But returning to the source of a thing–the real source–means the photographer has to watch, dig, listen for voices, sniff the smells, and have many doubts.
My life in photography has been lived as a skeptic.
