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)
