The students in my photography began their final assignment- a comprehensive photo essay of their New River Academy experience. What is a photo essay you ask? Well it is story told through a collection of images and words. The students have the option of displaying their photos/text combination in what ever way they choose. They can write a story with images spaced throughout the text, they can use mostly images with captions, they can put text right on the image itself, or use any combination of these techniques.
They only stipulation is that this essay must begin with the students’ first week of school. This is a daunting task as the students now have amassed such a tremendous amount of experiences throughout their NRA adventure. The process of selecting their best images to tell this story will be a challenge in and of itself.
I am excited to see what our photo team manages to come up with, this project is sure to help solidify a life long keepsake of our students’ experience with the New River Academy.
