Lesson Introdution
You will go on a scavenger hunt and photograph every letter of the alphabet. However, you can't use actual letters. You must find the letters hidden within windows, fences, clothing, trees, furniture and just about any object. You need to use your observational skills and see things in a new light. You will be interpreting the environment around you to find letters of the alphabet.
Lesson Objectives
ASSIGNMENT #1: Take one photograph for each of the letters in the alphabet. The alphabet must be a "found" letter through observation. You may not use actual letters. Upload all 26 letters into a gallery on your Weebly website. Make a new gallery labeled. "Found Alphabet". Arrange the letters in alphabetical order.
