Digital Camera

I used my advisory students to create a Photo Story using the digital camera.  Advisory meets once a month.  It used to meet everyday.  A lesson plan was distributed on how to manage your time.  It consisted of two handouts.  One required students to list their activities for a 24 hour period.  Students were supposed to read an article about how to manage their time. I gave the camera to students and they were able to find plenty of pictures of how to not spend your time.  Since the advisory will not appear on their report cards, students are resistant to doing anything that requires any work.  I had to write the script including the 5 steps to manage their time.  The voice over was performed by a student.  All my advisory students are seniors.  I like to pictures the student took and they also used included their own words in the voice over.  The student who recorded her voice really enjoyed the experience.  She said she will never forget how to manage her time.  I was pleased with the end product.
