4. Photographing the process
By photographing the process and
discussing the pictures, the children

“I am proud
outlined my

painting, it is
I will paint my
as rough as

9. Managing photography
Teach one student, and have them
teach another after 10 photos.
Keep the rules simple...
1) This is how to take picture
2) Put hand through loop

10. Reflecting on learning
“I like my picture because it is colourful and
bright. I like the way I used Sgraffito.”

11. Blogging!!!
Photos are shared during writing
time.
Children examine and discuss the
images and use the language to
create a word list.
“How would you describe this
image to someone who can’t see?”
