Year two for the Out of Eden Walk at the American International School of Lusaka (Zambia) produced some nice photos. Here are some that resonated with me, along with two photos I took. For many students, walking around their neighborhood is not something they are accustomed to. These students are grade 6 students in a Middle Years Programme (MYP) in Alta Conte’s classroom. I provided support and gave students tips on how to take a good photo. I also showed them exemplars from my former students at the American International School Chennai (India). The instructions from Out of Eden Learn for this footstep (activity) are below:
As you walk in your neighborhood or local area, take photos of things that catch your attention. What do you see, feel, hear, taste, or smell? Try to look at the place and the people who live or work there with fresh eyes. Here are some ideas for different kinds of photos you can take:
- Photos that capture a whole neighborhood scene, and photos that zoom in on a detail you find interesting.
- Photos where you’re pointing the camera up and photos where you’re pointing the camera towards the ground.
- Photos of things that are common or familiar in your neighborhood, and photos of things that might be unexpected or surprising.
- Something special that you’d like to share.
