English 12 – Narrative Assignment

Hi English 12 – Attached is a doc of your narrative assignment (at the bottom of this post).

I have been having conversations with people feeling worried about the images. First, the story is most important. Focus most of your energy on that. For the image, think of what you can do with an image to deepen or extend the ideas in your story. Photos have perspective, mood, tone, context…..if you are taking one (for example, of an object that is connected to your story) think about the lighting you use, the perspective you’re photographing from (close up? far away? above? eye level?), and the context in which you place it (with other things? alone?). 

Regarding the bibliography – many of you had trouble with An Ounce of Cure, which is reasonable because I now see I didn’t give you bibliographical information.
