GETTING TO KNOW YOU ACTIVITY
Ms. Rinehuls will place you into groups by counting off.
Your group will be given 8 minutes to come up with one interesting commonality that ALL group members share. We will share our commonality with the class.
***** It can not be something obvious! We all go to THS, We all are in the same class, We all take digital photography
I will separate you into another group and you will do the same thing...
You will have 5 minutes to fill out the Food Partner Form!!
Class Syllabus:
The text on the hard copy is very small.
You can view a larger copy by going to the top tab of this page and selecting -useful link and info - Syllabus
You do not need to return the hard copy.
There is a QR Code that leads to a google form that will need to be completed by a parent or guardian ASAP!
Highlights from Syllabus
Please be in your seat and completing the bell ringer when the late bell rings. I need to input attendance at that time.
If you are late 3 times, you will receive a referral.
Phones and earbuds should be off and away unless told otherwise.
No bathroom the 1st and last 10 minutes of class.
Please use appropriate / clean language - may result in a referral
What do we do in this class?
Will I have to take pictures outside of class or in class?
You will do both.... Many of the projects that are assigned, will be done in class. However, there are a some photoshoots that you MUST take outside of class / off of school property.
This will allow you to feel more comfortable, which then leads to more authentic and natural images!
Different backgrounds
Different lighting
Different subjects
All of these reasons lead to much better photographs!

About Your Teacher:
WHY WE USE CELL PHONES IN DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY 1:
Because cell phones offer accessibility, familiarity, and a wide range of features that can be used to learn fundamental photography concepts. In level 1 photography our primary focus is on Composition and Editing
Using smartphones makes photography education more inclusive, allows for immediate practical application, and leverages students' existing comfort with their devices.
Real-World Skills: Students can immediately apply what they learn to their daily lives, as they are already accustomed to using their phones for photography.
In Level 2 photography, if you choose to take it, Students begin to learn how to use a professional camera (this needs to be it's own course as it is very technical.
