You will be given a handout today that you will need to read. As you read the Nectar Collective’s 12 of the Best “Human’s of New York” Posts- http://thenectarcollective.com/best-humans-of-new-york/ you will need to mark the reading in a specific way.

Write in the margin about 2 elements (color, shape, line, form, texture and space) and 2 principles (balance, contrast, movement, emphasis, rhythm, pattern and unity) that you see in each picture that helps add to the image.

Circle descriptive words within the text.

In brackets in the margin write question(s) you have for the photographer and the subject. Your question can be how did they meet, was it awkward to stop for the photographer or why did they stop and let their photograph be taken. Be creative. You should have no less than 2 questions per image.

You will be placed in groups of 4 and each of you will be given a letter (a, b, c or d). Each of you will read the Nectar Collective’s 12 of the Best “Human’s of New York” Posts- http://thenectarcollective.com/best-humans-of-new-york/. In your groups you will look at each photo and read the statement after each photograph silently and fill in the 2 columns below independently. After each photo number you will find a letter. Each of you will read your statement about the photo and when you are all done you will talk about your connection with the letter and whoever has the letter after the number will end the discussion with the last connection to the image. Please repeat until you have completed 1-12.
