Tuesday
Good morning guys!
If you picked your teachers and began sending your emails yesterday, that is wonderful. If not, you can skip yesterday and wait until I get back Wednesday to pick your teachers. Please read yesterday's post if you didn't already so you know what's going on.
Whether you started emailing teachers yesterday or not, you will still need something to do while you wait for replies and schedule your appointment to photograph people. So what do you do??
.... Wait for it..... Make your own READ poster! It will be fun. You get to decide what activities or features define you as a person. What props could you find and bring that would create a READ poster that says something about how YOU are?
First, go through this entire site, examining what the original posters were used for and what the campaign was all about. Look at all the visual examples. These will be your best models. Do you recognize any of the old celebrities? http://bookriot.com/2013/12/03/celebrity-read-posters-80s-90s/
Get a piece of paper.

- I want you to brainstorm a list of roles you play in life. Are you a student? A big sister? A soccer player? An actor? A romantic? An artist? An animal lover? List as many as you can think of.
- The second list I want you to make is what props or settings would serve as visual cues to that role. For example, a soccer player would probably be photographed on the soccer field with a soccer ball, maybe even in uniform. An animal lover could be photographed in nature holding an animal (maybe just a stuffed animal).
- Third, I want you to make a list of your favorite book or textbook. So, for example, my favorite book as a kid was the Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe, but I also like Psychology, so I might also list a Psychology textbook.
Welcome, Photo II!!!
Ok, ok, Photo II gets left out and it isn't fair. Now you guys can get your instructions and tips in one place, too. (Everyone cheer! YAY!)
1. So, first, make sure your Overcoming Boundaries photos are finished. You should have 1 which focuses on a person and one which focuses on an object. Name your projects lastname_firstname_person.jpg and lastname_firstname_object.jpg
2. Drop your renamed, finished tutorial files in the Photo II turn in folder.
3. We have been asked to do another project for the school, kind of like Bulldog Bucks. KB in the bookroom wants to make READ posters for the library. You need to know what these look like, so do a google search for "READ posters", or "80s read posters".
4. KB wants to reach out to all the teachers in the school, so each teacher makes their own READ poster. Then we will select the best to be printed poster size and display in the library. Your Photo II period will be in charge of the teachers who have their prep at the same time as your class. So, period 2 deals with the teachers who have period 2 prep. That way we won't ever interrupt their class for a photo.
5. Check the list on the wall. Divide up the number of teachers by the number of photo II students in your period. Choose who will deal with what teachers for that period. Try to keep it even. Write this down! Make a list.
6. Look up the teacher emails on the Turlock High School website. Add these emails to your list.
7. Compose an email explaining our purpose, and include the following link, which provides examples. http://bookriot.com/2013/12/03/celebrity-read-posters-80s-90s/
Word this email professionally. Double check for spelling and grammar errors. It should be politely asking for their participation and explaining what we will be doing with the photos/posters. Include the who, what, when, where, why.
8. Do not send the email yet. I want to double check them.
