The Best part of me

I think that the best part of me is my sensitivity. I think that th best part of me is my sensitivity because it is what people most notice when they meet me. Also it makes me act the way I do towards others, towards the environment and towards myself.I also think my sensitivity is what makes me react in a certain way to a specific situation, either something is happening to me or is happening to another person. The final reason that I think my sensitivity is the best part of me is because it is not physical and I thought it would be a challenge to explain to others.

Community and Service: We teach others about our uniqueness. We show others our pictures and show them what we think about ourselves.

Homofaber: We create pictures to show the class. We create poems describing the best part of ourselves.

Relevance: The problem is important because it helps explain to others what what I think the favorite part of me is. It helps show my feelings. I can learn more about my body. It helps other people know about me. It helps me express what part if me I think is unique.

Investigate:The Problem

The Problem: How can we best express the best part of ourselves using digital photography and writing? The first thing I have to do is reflect on my positive aspects. Then, I have to choose the one I like best. After that, I have to plan on what the photograph will look like. I have to pick a time and look for resources. Then I have to pick a place where I will take my picture. I have to take the resources and take my picture. Then I will evaluate my work throughout the unit.

Second Unit of Work

This new project is about myself.It is called " The best part of me". First, I pick the part of myself I think is the best part of me.It doesn't have to be physical, it can be an aspect of my personality or an emotion. If the best part of you that you chose is physical, then you take a picture of it. You need to write a poem or short piece of 100-200 that describes the best part of you and why you like it. You may need to use a tripod or a self-timer to take the photograph and photo editing software to edit it. Choose portrait or landscape format. You need to make several test prints.You can write the text by hand or on the computer. You can choose if your photograph is black and white or color, and if it's 4x6 inches or 5x7 inches. Your text and photo must go on one canvas. The text and photograph should combine to communicate your idea. You will use the Design Cycle as a tool to guide you through the process of creating your final product.
