Cross-Curriculum Ideas
I would love to incorporate Social Studies to a lesson similar to this one. For instance, a picture book with the title My Life in Memphis, TN. This time have students capture pictures around our city that are important to that individual.
Follow-Up
Students can create and publish a book titled School Days. Same steps as above however, students can capture images of their daily school life.
