GCSE PHOTOGRAPHY HOMEWORK a visual guide for students and parents.

Over the course of the GCSE, Photography students will be set a weekly homework task. This could take one of the following formats and should take at least 1 hour:

• A specific editing task / hand manipulation • A photoshoot• Researching photographers • Page presentation and writing up • Personalised feedback tasks

When these specific tasks are set the instructions, resources and deadlines will be set as an assignment on Edmodo.

When a personalised task is set instructions will be given to students in sketchbooks on feedback sheets in the back of the book or on post it notes on specific pages.

Please see examples of these task instructions here.
