This is such a fun contest. My students are still talking about it now at the end of the year, and planning for next year's. |
Cross-Curriculum Ideas |
This would work well as a cross with just about any class, but especially a Photojournalism I or an introductory Photography class. |
Follow-Up |
Students can rank/judge each other's photos
