The Best Part Of Me


A collaborative project with writing & photography

Recently the Grade Three class completed a writing project based on Wendy's Ewald's book, The Best Part of Me. The Grade Three students needed to pick a body part that they felt was their best part. They had to write a short piece to explain why they feel this way.  This became a collaborative project as the high school multimedia students were partnered with a Grade Three student and asked to be their official photographer. 

The multimedia students were given the challange to create an interesting and meaningful image of the chosen body part. Photographers were encouraged to try different camera angels, different lighting styles and get as close as possible to the subject. The results were stunning. Each Grade Three student had an unique photograph to help the tell their own personal story.  The high school students were able to show off their photography knowledge as well as demonstrate their leadership skills as they organised each student for the photo shoot of the "best of me".
