I would like to teach my young students how to use photography as a springboard for writing. In a developmental class, the fine motor ability range of my students varies greatly. Writing can be challenging for any student especially when they are asked to include illustrations. By allowing them to take photographs that we can print instantly they will already have the visual aides they need to generate ideas for narrative stories, poetry and even non-fiction reports. Giving them the option to use photography over hand drawn creations ties into responsive classroom philosophy of academic choice. Students who are given more learning options are more motivated and inspired to learn and create!
