  Grade 7 students,
Today you will continue working on the Global Issues Photo Essay you started on a couple of Fridays ago. This should be a relatively easy summative task for you to complete considering that your persuasive essays for your selected global issue you investigated has been completed. A reminder that your photo essay should be limited in the amount of text each slide contains. And no more than 10 image slides. The images you select should help tell the story and convince the viewer that your global issue is a bid deal worth attention and compel the viewer to want to do something to help solve this global issue. Students will present their photo essays to the class on either June 3rd or June 7th. For this, you will stand and present this photo essay to your classmates by sharing the images and "telling" the story of this global issue. You will not be allowed to read off of a script or notes. You will persuade your classmates that this is an important issue that the world should be concerned about and should address. You will use the power of images to persuade them to be concerned.
