Photojournalism Lesson Pack: 6 Weeks, 7 Projects

Use this photojournalism lesson pack to introduce photojournalism in your class with this 6-week project pack. Teach students the artistic side of photography and how to capture a story through the image by teaching them the basics of capturing a successful photograph and the concept of photojournalism.

This bundle pack is full of information to help your students grasp the concept of photojournalism by setting up a strong photograph. Students are slowly introduced to ways to capture a photograph, important photographs in history, as well as the basics of photojournalism.

Every day millions of digital photographs are uploaded to social media, shared with friends, and moved around the world. So what separates the photographers from the rest? 

Through this curriculum, students learn about elements of photography, photography composition, taking intentional photographs, and the impact a single photograph can make.

Included in this photojournalism lesson bundle pack: 

• Creating a photojournal for notes and holding photographs
• Your World project
• Introduction to the elements of photography and rules of composition
• Storytelling Through Photography
• Environmental portraits project
• Social commentary project

Bring photography out of getting "likes" and back into the world of art by teaching your students how to properly edit their photographs. Separate the taking from the making!

This product was created in collaboration with my amazing friend and coworker, Meagan Brooker. Meagan has taught for many years, with a focus on AP Art, Drawing, and Photography. In addition, she has been responsible for capturing our annual family photographs, maternity, and newborn pictures that I will treasure forever. This girl knows her stuff, and better yet, how to teach it to students.
