This past Saturday, Chelsea and I took two groups of students outside to take pictures of their villains in the environment. Each group had two SLR cameras and two supervisors. This worked out good because if one person was helping a student with the camera, the other made sure the students did not run too far.
The students had to choose three areas outside to take pictures of their villains. Each group went their separate ways. I believe that the students had a really great time outside, and the weather was perfect. I could really tell who had become friends, throughout the Saturday school classes, just by observing them this lesson.

One problem that was happening in my group was some students dropped and broke their villains. Some students would left their villains on the ground to hang with their friends, and another student ran, did not see the villain, and kick it over, accidentally. I brought glue along just in case the villains would broke, but I did not expect so many to break. The students spent time repairing it, but some students did not get a chance to take all their pictures.
Overall, I think the students took really great photographs with the SLR camera.
I think this is a really cool idea! The photos turned out really nice too. I wouldn't have even thought that the issue with dropping and stepping on the projects would occur. Thats one of those small issues that come around that most teachers don't plan for. Bringing glue was a good preparation.
