Something Beautiful Photo Essay Project (6-8 photos) 
The purpose of this assignment is to raise awareness and critical thinking by working on a series (6-8) of pictures. Students have been investigating how physical features of the Earth affect the development of human societies and, in turn, how societies affect the physical environment. This project will investigate these questions as students portray their "something beautiful" in response to the story we read in class. The pictures must be related to what the student considers their "something beautiful." Examples: pictures of different objects, settings, a series of photos describing a process or event, etc…These pictures wil be digitally inserted into a Power Point presentation, Prezi, or published on the student's Weebly.
