| Photography's Ability to Persuade Through Fact & Fiction: Lesson 2 | Students create their own manipulated fake digital images to examine and evaluate their truthfulness, analyze possible outcomes of manipulated images as well as investigate the power of text and images to amplify its message.
Students also create a 'Code of Image Ethics' for images they encounter in the future, as well as identify important historical impacts of imagery and their effect on the American political process, and the implications of new technology (such as A.I. generated imagery) might impact the future of this process. |
| Photography's Ability to Persuade Through Fact & Fiction: Lesson 1 | This lesson grows student awareness of the many roles photography plays in our personal and political lives, helping them develop strength in discerning how images may be attempting to persuade them and ways to identify its veracity. Students will explore visual examples (in attachments or teacher-sourced), guided discussion, critique, and exploration of their own found examples. Reflection at the end of the lesson will reinforce the importance of telling the truth with images as well as the role they play in creating & sharing trustworthy imagery. This is lesson 1 of a 3-part unit. |
| Explore Voters' Rights: Lesson 1 | Students will explore the timeline of voters' rights in the United States. Students will specifically note the dates of the 15th, 19th, 24th, and 26th Amendments; poll tax; along with other historical events surrounding those amendments. Students will complete a graphic organizer on the amendments, bullet-pointing the most important information. Students will be given scenarios of people and decide if they can vote using an if/then system. This is Lesson 1 in a three-part unit integrating civics and coding. |
