ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION 

This week, we extend a photo challenge for your students to share the Remembrance Day celebrations in your own local neighbourhood community. How does your local community observe Remembrance Day? Do students attend a local parade or a ceremony at a local cenotaph? Is there a statue in your area which commemorates the sacrifices our veterans made? Or do your students have their own way of observing and remembering the men and women who have served our country from within your own community? Please share how your community observes this important Canadian event.

 

As always, please make sure that your students are the eye of the camera: composing, creating, and selecting the best picture to respond to this week’s challenge!

Learning to Credit Student Photographs Online

Why not take an opportunity this week to help students learn how to ensure they get credit for all of their photographs and original works? They can do this very simply by placing a Creative Commons license on all work they are sharing on the internet.

 

This can be added as text to any type of post on the internet, (i.e. Image by W. May, CC: BY-NC-SA) or they can print it in the bottom corner of a photograph or original work.
