Trash Photo Assessment Week 3

We are learning to assess our digital photographs:
Once your week 3 trash photo is in your new blog post, you need to write a reflection. Your reflection is an assessment of how well you achieved the Learning Intention and Success Criteria of that lesson. (LI: We are learning to take photographs that use contrasting colours to make the image stand out).

Our Success Criteria are:

1. The background colour of the photograph is a contrasting colour to the piece of trash.
2. We can explain what a contrasting colour is.
   
3. The photograph is in focus.
4. The trash image fills the frame of the photograph.

Bryan tells us about TEACH

This term we are learning about the inquiry process. T stands for "tune in". Its about asking questions and getting all the information you need. E stands for "explore", researching information and using effective key words. A stands for "acquire", gathering information. C stands for "communicate", choose and sort your information and credit your sources, and present your information creatively. H stands for "how did it work", "have I answered my questions? How well did I do it? And all the letters stand for T.E.A.C.H.
