1. I am working with the other girls who are doing photography and we are going to put on an art gallery showing with our own picture. We will find a location, take the pictures, set up a theme, do all that needs to be done.
2. Verification will be logs written down and signed by each other and our parents possibly, it hasn't been decided by the group yet.
3. This will help me answer my EQ because I will actually be taking the pictures, I will be doing exactly what I have been researching and using my answers.

new lesson plan
Topic: Nature Photography
EQ: What is the best way to take a ‘nature’ photograph?
Objective: To teach the class how to improve a photograph on Photoshop without taking away the ‘nature’ of the photo, using contrast, converting to black and white-as well as how to decide if a photo should be black and white-, a vignette, and filters.
Hook: (How will you get your audience's attention?)
Introduction: 1. State my EQ, and what I am teaching in this presentation and what my 2 hour will be.

Hook: (How will you get your audience's attention?)
Introduction: 1. State my EQ, and what I am teaching in this presentation and what my 2 hour will be.
2. Tell about the debate between photographers about how far technology has gone to change and image, whether photos should be Photoshoped or not.
Body: 1. I will explain how to figure out what the focus of the photo is, what the subject is.
2. First I will explain contrast, what is does and how it can change a photo, whether contrast is too high or too low. I will show them how to change it step by step on Photoshop.
3. Next I will show black and white conversions. First explaining why one photo would be better in black and white and why others wouldn’t. I will have a few photos up in both color and black and white to show the difference and explain why it is better or worse. I will then show them how to convert an image on Photoshop.
4. Finally I will show them how to do a vignette, why it enhances a photo and how to do it on Photoshop.
Activity: I will but several nature photos up on the screen one at a time and ask the students to write down what they think the subject is, what can be done to improve the photo out of the things I taught them, and whether it should be in black and white. I will then ask volunteers what they wrote and we will go over what the volunteers think should be done and whether it would work or not, I will do what they wrote on Photoshop to show them again how to do it, and if it worked.

Check for Understanding: The check for understanding, we will go over what the volunteers said and whether it works or not.
Conclusion: Go over again what each technique does to a photo and ask what they learned.
Materials: Powerpoint and Photoshop are on my computer, projector.

Revised Lesson Plan
Topic: Nature Photography
EQ: What is the best way to take a 'nature' photograph?
Objective: To define what 'nature' is and how Photoshop can improve any photo without taking the 'nature' away.
Hook: I will have various photos of my own and other known nature photographers up on the screen and I will also recite the dictionary definition of what nature is.
Introduction: After the hook, I will ask the class to define nautre in their own words and ask if the definition of nature changes as society changes. I will then state my EQ and tell the class that in this presentation, I will be teaching them about how to improve the photos you have taken, while during the 2 hour, I will present on how to take your photos so you don't need Photoshop.
Body: 1. Ask a few students what they think of Photoshop and if a nature photograph should be altered on
Photoshop.
2.Show multiple pictures of both nature and urban nature and discuss what makes them nature.
3.Go over Photoshop, ask whether pictures should be changed, then show how photos can be
altered and improved.
Activity: After I show them how pictures can be improved, ask a few people to come up and
make changed on some pictures themselves.
Check for Understanding: After each person goes up and makes the adjustments, I will ask another student
tell the class what was done and how it improved (or if they think, made it worse)
the photo.
Conclusion: I will again ask the class if their definition of nature has changed, and ask someother students to explain how Photoshop can improve any photo.
Materials: Power Point, projector, Photoshop ( I have this on my computer)
Sources: First and formost my ROP Photography class, and second a research article from Wikipedia
defining nature, as well as an article called "What is Nature Photography?"

Independent Task 1
LIA: "I, Heather Powers, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work."
For my independent task, I took the Digital Photography ROP class. Jack Bohlka is the teacher. We meet every Tuesday and Thursday from 3-6 pm. I turned in log signed by Jack with 99 hours of class time. In the class we learn how to work a digital camera, lighting techniques, angles, aperture setting, various forms of photography such as headshots, landscape, abstract, and black and white, as well as the basic uses of Photoshop.
http://www.facebook.com/#!/album.php?aid=39394&id=100000558692619 (if the link doenst work, let me know)
This class has taught the basics of photography and what it takes to be a photographer. It helped me answer my EQ by helping me to prioritize what is most important in photography. I learned that you have to know about what kind of lighting you what and what kind of angle you want before you take the picture. You have yo set up the shot to get what you saw across to the person looking at your picture. You also want to set up the shot so you don't have to change it or improve it on Photoshop, you want Photoshop to be a las resort.
