Overview: (A brief description of your instructional plan) The students are to compare, contrast and analyze photography as an emerging technology  in Pennsylvania of the early 19th and digital photography as an emerging technology in the later 20th century. The students will produce new images (photographs) by  combining their photographs with old images produce by Pennsylvanian photographers of the early 19th century.

 

Keywords: (Key words are search terms that enable other teachers to locate your plan on the Web.) Pennsylvanian photographers

 

Learning Objective(s):  (What will students know and be able to do to demonstrate that they have reached the standard? List student competencies in clear, measurable terms.)

 1). The students will be able to compare and contrast the differences of the early  19th century camera  with the digital camera of the late 20th century.

2). The students will be able to analyze camera as a tool for art.

3). The students will be able to compare and contrast photography in Pennsylvania of the early 19th century with photography of the late 20th century.

 

 

Assessment-Task and Criteria:  What is the student performance that demonstrates they have met each objective?  Include actual assessment and scoring tool(s).  How will you judge “below basic,” “basic,” “proficient” and “advanced”?   Do you have a model/exemplar of your expectations?)

Advanced:  a) The student was a very active participant in all discussion, with a deep understanding of the content and concepts. b) The student expertly combined their photographs with photographs from the early 19th century and produced a new image using "Photoshop."c) The student was able to identify all elements of the late 20th century landscape photography from all the elements of early 19th century landscape photography in their new image .

 

Proficient: a) The student actively participated in all discussion, and had a good understanding of the content and concepts. b) The student effectly combined their photograph with photographs from the early 19th  century and produced a new image using "Photoshop."c) The student  was able to identify most elements of 20th century landscape photography from most of the elements of early 19th century landscape photography in their new image .

 

Basic: . a) The student was a participant in all discussion, with a fair understanding of the content and concepts. b) The student combined their photograph with a photograph from the early 19th century and produced a new image using "Photoshop."c) The student  was able to identify some elements of 20th  century landscape photography from some of the elements of early 19th century landscape photography in their new image .

 

Below Basic: a) The student was a minor participant in discussions or was silent, with little to no understanding of the content and concepts of the lesson. b) The student did  little or no work. c)The student was unable to identify elements of 20th  century landscape photography from any of the elements of early 19th  century landscape photography in their new image .

Warm-Up:

The first class the students will disscus photography as an art .  

 

Instruction: (What will you teach to prepare students to demonstrate proficiency in mastery of the standard(s) identified?)

The students will be instructed on how the camera works.  They will analyze the cameras of the early 19th  century. They will analyze the cameras of the late 20th  century. The second class, the students will go on a field trip in their community to photograph the landscape. (Or they will bring in a landscape photograph,  cut out landscape photographs from magzines, or any combination of the above choices.) The third class, students will compare and constrast their landscape photographs with  the landscape photographs of the early 19th  century in an open classroom disscusion. They will also, compare and constrast the 19th century cameras with digital cameras the late 20th century.  The fourth class, students will use "Photoshop" to combine the photographs from the two periods, synthesising a new photograph which  will encompass both periods. The fifth class, students will disscuss (and/or write) what they have learned and how the two time periods are alike and how are they different.

 

Correctives:  (Activities for students who have not met the objectives at proficient or advanced level)

The student will be given one 20th  century landscape photograph  with one  photograph from the early 19th  century . They can produce a new image by using scissors, glue and paper (cut and paste) . The student will write a short essay about the photographic elements of the new image.  (what period is each element apart ?)     

 

Extensions:  (Enrichment activities for students who have met the objectives at a proficient or advanced level)

 The student who is advanced (or wishes additional work) will be asked to produce a photograph with the same elements as an early 19th century landscape photograph.
