My genre was horror. I'm holding a piece of balled up red paper that I tried to make into a clown nose. I don't like clowns and the idea behind this was that I had found a clown nose and I know that there is one nearby, probably hiding somewhere, all nose-less and creepy.
In this lesson, I really like the way narrative was discussed through the different images that were shown. Giving us this really open ended photograph to talk about let to so many assumptions about what was going on and I found the stories that developed during the investigation of these images to be very interesting and entertaining. It got the idea of narrative across to the students in a really engaging way. Making the different portraits was a fun process too, the only thing is I think there should have been more supplies available to make props, maybe a little more structure on how to develop narrative in these photos by using props because a lot of that creativity and ingenuity came from us. Also I think a lot of the chaos of using the limited space in the room and having students leaving without permission was a good lesson in how we all need to remember that we are in charge and we have to manage our classroom and be aware of what it is going on at all times.
