This week my Year 10 class has been making photo collages. Students were asked to identify their favourite colour, animal, flower/plant/tree, water, season, and time of day. They then found images for each aspect and created a photo collage using a free online tool (we used fotor.com).
This task was taken from a presentation made by Robin Holding at the NZ Writing Conference in July.
My chosen features were:
Colour: Purple
Animal: Dragon
Flower/Plant/Tree: Picasso Calla Lily
Water: Tropical Lagoon
Season: Autumn
Time of day: Midnight
One aim of making the collage is to get students thinking creatively. The task also is a way of sharing some information about the student's personality while still being cybersafe.
This is how my collage turned out:
Our next step will be some creative writing based on the collage. Watch this space!
