How to join our Photo Project

The world is an incredible place! 

If you are observant, you can capture some great images on your digital camera or phone. Here at Year 3′s Classroom Blog, we invite you to be a part of our class Photo Project by sending us a photograph with some writing. See below to find out what to do.

To contribute to this online digital community,

just email a photo to Mr W at:

yr3blog@st-marysce.co.uk

Be sure to include the following Four items.

1.  An interesting photo.

It does NOT need to be taken on a specific day. However, the photo must belong to you. Only submit photos that you or your family have taken. (A smaller file is better, around 200 kb is a good size.) Try not to include too much personal information in your photo.

2. Attribution.

Who took the photo? Who wrote the text? It is important to credit the photographer and writer.

3.  Text to complement the photo.

Write a few sentences explaining the photo. Here are some possible questions to include when composing your description:  Where was the photo taken? When was it taken? What is special about the subject of the photo? Are there any facts you could share so we can learn something new via your photo and text?

4. End with a question.

Think of a question or two you could ask that would start a conversation in the comment section. Ask OPEN questions that cannot be answered using yes or no. This is a great opportunity to get some feedback on your photo or gather new knowledge about the subject of the photo. Invite readers to make up a story about your photo.

Be sure to check back and see if your photo received a comment. It is good blogging netiquette to respond to a comment.

The idea for the photo fun blog came from this wonderful blog by Mrs Yollis class in California USA.
