Using Photos to Create a Visual Biography Outline Photo Biography Using Photos to Create a Visual Biography Outline

Why a Photo Biography? Photo images are a type of language…we can use them to create messages, communicate ideas, and provide support for written ideas.

Besides, Everyone likes looking at photos! Plus…research has proven that we are more likely to process, remember, and recall information when it is coupled with interesting, well-made images that stimulate our visual thinking! Whew!!!

What is a Visual Biography Outline ? A short personal profile created with a combination of photo images, basic information, and a brief narrative about the person. Provides a brief introduction, some basic information about them, and a brief narrative (story describing) of that person.

The Assignment Select another JHS student… NOT A MEMBER OF THIS CLASS! Conduct a short “bio research interview.” Take five (5) photo images for this Visual Biography Outline

Construct An eight (8) slide Visual Biography Outline PowerPoint. First slide must be an intro slide that has the person’s name (first and last) and a clear, easy-to-view portrait-type image. Second and third slides will be a brief written Bio consisting of their name, birth date (age); their JHS class; their interests, activities, and hobbies.

The next four (4) slides will be will contain a variety of photo images taken by you of your selected person showing us (the viewers) more about them. These photo images should show the person in a variety of contexts ( situations, surroundings, or backgrounds) that help us understand more clearly about them. Photo images are a type of language…we can use them to create messages, communicate ideas, and provide support for written ideas.

The last slide… The eighth (8th) slide should be an image that clearly shows that the person is a Jeff High student and contain a text box with their response to the following question: The best thing about Jeff High is the…______________what?

And that is it…simple and easy to do! A very effective way to obtain 100 of the 500 total points for the 4th 9 week period! Can be completed in a very short period of time…some of this can be completed here in-class…if you are prepared. Due Date: May 15
