A fun writing, reading and S&L on photography. The students have to look at famous photography (with all info, dates etc. included) and answer questions on them from a worksheet. There also discussion points on most photos.
They then have to do their photo shoot! They have to take photos in a certain way e.g. reflections, giants & monsters as well as recreate some of the famous photographs.
They then have to write an essay based on both of the tasks. All photos and worksheets included.
