Giving Thanks

Giving Thanks

Purpose:

To reflect upon what you are thankful for and communicate it through photograph;

To encourage creative problem-solving skills.

• • For what are you thankful?

  • What kinds of images capture the concept of giving thanks?

  • Please try to think "outside the box".

  • Remember to consider all that you have learned about compositional strategies and elements of design; incorporate them into your photographs.

Thanksgiving Day (Canada)

Monday, October 12, 2009

Give thanks for every sunset,

For flowers on the hill,

For silver moonlight overhead,

For songs of whippoorwills.

Give thanks for friends and neighbors,

For the laughter of a child,

For family life and hearthstones,

For weather, brisk or mild.

Give thanks for all gifts given,

For home and family ties,

For mother's love and father's care,

For leaders strong and wise.

Give heartfelt thanks---be grateful

For all that you possess,

And when,each year,you gather

Give thanks you've been so blessed.
