1.) What first caught your eye while looking at your photographers photos? Is there something in particular about their photos that made you want to choose them? What caught my eye while looking at the photos that Lewis Hine photographed is that he documented some of the most important historical events that at the time seemed like noting to the people who rejected his photos, however it documented history for us.

2.) Look at those 2 photos you posted last time. Use your five senses to tell me more about those photos. Answer them on your blog.

I see: people working hard building buildings 1,000 feet in the air and children being forced to work, children crying of how exhausted and hungry they are. Men dangerously close to falling 1,000 feel down to there death.
I smell: steel, coal from factory machines.

I hear: busy New York streets from a distance, loud factory machines, other men yelling, and heavy machines and tools working.
I taste: Salty air from the ocean, smoke from the machines.
I feel: High above the world, very cold. I feel very exhausted and imprisoned like if I was robbed of my life.

You can do this in 2 ways. You can either put yourself in the photo and pretend your standing next to the subjects in the photo. I know smell and taste are hard but you can do it.

Or, you can pretend you were the photographer and use those same senses.

On the one titled - I feel - you may either touch things in your photo (imagination please!!) or you can tell me what you (yes, you in the real world) feel or felt the first time you saw the photo, or how it makes you feel when you look at it now.

BE REFLECTIVE HERE - try to be descriptive, try to write more than you think you can. One sentence per prompt is NOT ENOUGH, write at LEAST 3 sentences per!!! Write more, if you think its enough, its NOT.

3.) Finally, what would you like to create to show the world your great photographer. Ideas include, posters, power points, a blog, etc. You tell me what you would like to create so we can come up with a plan to share your thoughts and ideas about your photographer with your classmates and with the rest of the school. I would create a blog so that people can also share there response to Lewis Hines photos.
