Group+1's+DI+Activities+Workspace

** DIGITAL IMAGES (DI) ACTIVITIES **
====**Directions:** Work together to complete the activities below. You should have a **group leader** //(to keep you on task)//, an **archivist or two** //(to type and post onto your group's wiki page)//, and a **timekeeper** //(to move you along the steps)//. Each group member should contribute ideas and participate. Each of you should serve as a **photographer** in the process at some point. Click the edit tab to begin adding your information and digital images below! Have fun!====

1. Let’s exercise your ability to //re-see the world in creative ways!// With your group, take 7-10 minutes or so to find the following and take pictures of them with your digital camera:

 * ====An image that represents a letter from the English language alphabet====
 * ====An image that represents a number====
 * ====An image that is particularly interesting and might just be dynamic in and of itself OR symbolic of something else... (think creatively here:)====
 * ====An image that is representative or symbolic of your group in some way (think very creatively here!)====

====2. Edit pictures as needed, but you will want to send and save your pictures so that you have access to them as files that you can upload into your wiki page in the table below. Post them here below using the File upload function once you click Edit! You may need to resize them once they are posted (you can do this by using the small sizing squares on the sides of the image to make it smaller). (5-7 minutes)====

 * Image representing a Letter from the Alphabet || Image representing a Number || Dynamic and/or Symbolic Image || Image Representative or


 * Letter from the Alphabet:** H
 * Number:** 8
 * Symbolic Image:** I thought this image was symbolic because these two items don't necessarily go together. The image demonstrates nature and man. You can see the fallen tree and then the metal object beside of it. I think this symbolizes man taking over nature and in the process destroying it.
 * Symbolic Image Representative of our Group:** This a pepper plant. I started growing these peppers back in the Spring. I really love to garden, but over the last month or so I have not had time to tend to my garden. Therefore, I see this image as our group. There are still peppers growing. They have changed in color and shape, but nonetheless they have continued to bloom. Though our group has already been through a lot in the past month, in regards to school and life, we have all continued to grow.

Using the young adult novel that your group identified, you will create a //**YAL Book Photo Essay!**//
====1. As a group discuss what you feel are the most important scenes, events, and quotations from your novel. Discuss why they are important and how they contribute to the meaning and impact of the novel on the reader. What is / are the message / messages conveyed through these scenes, events, and quotations.====

====2. Next, identify a mix of at least 5 key scenes, events, and quotations from your novel which are reflective of a thorough understanding of the novel as a whole. Consider your choices of key scenes, events, and quotations not only as a progression that helps tell the story of your YAL book, but also one that gets at the book's deeper meanings and impact on the reader. In other words, consider how the progression of your images help convey the books's impact and message!====

====3. Afterwards, search online for and choose images that best represent these key scenes, events, and quotations from your novel. While some may be literal, don't limit yourselves -- be creative and look for images that are symbolic and compelling in representation as well. If your book has been adapted for the screen, do __NOT__ use any stills from the movie adaptation. Avoid stock photos featuring the book cover or other promotional photographs as well!====

====4. You may want to work in pairs in your small group and divide the search for images up after you've identified your key moments and quotes. You may add to the table to include 1 or 2 more images if you want to, especially if there are additional moments you want to include / represent. Otherwise, you need at least 5 key representative images. Provide the image source (e.g., title, photographer's name & year; image URL; etc.).====

====5. Finally, provide a brief annotation explaining the significance of the image in relation to the book, including the quotation if applicable. While you do not need a quotation for every image, you should include __at least 2 key quotations__. In crafting the annotations, you may consider personal connections you may have made, but also consider how the image might represent the author's purpose and intent with the novel. Consider too whether the images make you associate with and reflect upon our contemporary world today. If so, how? What connections might exist between the world of the novel and our world today (especially with regard to young adults)?====
