__**Maine Standards for Initial Teacher Certification and Rationale**__
Rationale:**
 * //Standard 3 - Demonstrates a knowledge of the diverse ways in which students learn and develop by providing learning opportunities that support their intellectual, physical, emotional, social, and cultural development.//

A short video on photography is used to help illustrate the power of images in diverse forms of media. The piece viewed aids a deeper understanding of how the things we create impact our presentation of a message. The lesson employs numerous techniques to illustrate the various forms of photography present in the mainstream media today. Intentional effort is given to utilize techniques that allow a student to approach the same challenge or question from multiple angles.

Rationale:**
 * //Standard 4 - Plans instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, students, curriculum goals, and learning and development theory.//

In this lesson multiple devices were used to get students to realize how the mechanisms in the media are universal and can directly relate to the individual student’s life. The students will delve into the deepest form of media by reviewing and then constructing their own draft of an ad campaign. By having this canopy of knowledge the student will be better equipped to interpret and appreciate what the novel has to say. 

Rationale:**
 * //Standard 5 - Understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies and appropriate technology to meet students’ needs.//

Written transcripts will be provided for all pieces reviewed. The lesson deals deeply with story board format of storytelling. When describing what a story board is, it will be presented as the equation where the story is the word problem equivalent. There is an order presented in a story board that is more clearly defined than a written story. A story board will be shown and included in the handouts. Screenplay or storyboard as art will be discussed. The student must work alone initially to develop their own thoughts and writing prior a think/pair/share exercise. Small and large group work will be conducted when reporting on individual findings.

__Teaching and Learning Sequence__
Day One:

A copy of the Digital Photography Handbook will be passed out to each student. The assignment will be given: Develop your own storyboard for a commercial.

We will discuss what makes a good photograph and why it will be important to take good pictures. The camera is a still frame of what a video camera would see.
