Photo Essay Instructions

Here are the instructions for the photo essay assignment:

1. Your topic is Greek gods and goddesses, but you need to pick a specific theme (most powerful, children of Zeus, the story of Zeus coming to power, Hades' job in the Underworld)
2. You are creating your photo essay on Prezi using our classroom account (ms.reid29@gmail.com, gad2013)
3. The steps to create a photo essay are in your Literacy book with the snake on the cover (page 36)
4. You will need to choose at least 10 photos to tell your story - you should arrange the photos in an interesting and meaningful way (chronological order, most exciting, related events)
5. Each photo needs to have a caption that is at least 4 sentences in length.  Captions should help tell your story and match both the picture and the theme of your photo essay.
6. The overall look and visual appeal of your photo essay will help your story as well.  Your choice of colours, fonts, designs, etc. should match your theme and add to the appeal of your photo essay.

Be creative, express your vision or the story, have fun, and learn! :)
