As my first field trip came to an end, I looked back at how the students acted and reacted to their surroundings today. I was impressed with their behavior and respect and am thankful for asking them to take small group photos as this will be a memory some of them will have forever. Some of these students had not been on a field trip their entire high school career which makes me realize how important it is to take students out of a traditional classroom setting and allow for them to learn in a new and exciting way!

This spring, I took 50 students to the Cincinnati Zoo from Digital Photography classes. The students had a afternoon assignment which was a photography scavenger hunt! The students worked in groups to solve nearly 70 riddles, clues and puzzles. Students had 2 hours to solve them and photograph the answers.

My skin is black, my fur is clear, I wear shades and drink coke on ice without fear.

Do not sit on me or pick me up at the zoo, I have been put there for a reason, it tunes and blooms!

Give me a peanut but hide the mouse! I am as big as a one story house!

This spring, I took 50 students to the Cincinnati Zoo from Digital Photography classes. The students had a morning assignment which was used as an alternative form of assessment. The assignment was to take a photograph of the Rules and Guidelines of Photography which were taught at the beginning of the course. Below are examples.
