Title: Photo Journal Presentation Forum
Course: BC - English 6 - XT - 1.0.0.0

Your teacher will put you into a small group with some of your classmates where you will share your finished Photo Journal Project presentation with that group in a forum.

Have a family member take a video of you presenting your Photo Journal Project. You can do this in front of an audience or just in front of the camera.

Upload the video so your classmates can view it. This could mean creating a private YouTube video or uploading the video to a shared folder like Google Drive or Dropbox.

Your job, once you have posted your own story, is to watch the presentations of your group members and give each member of your group a “high-five.” Altogether, each story should receive five encouraging comments from the group as a whole.

Here are some suggested sentence starters for your comments:

- “My favourite part of the project was…”
- “What I like about your photos was…”
- “I like how you ‘showed’ instead of ‘told’ about…”
- “Your photo of… reminded me of…
- “I like how you described…”
- “My favourite line in your project was...”

This forum is a chance for you to connect with your classmates, see some beautiful photos, hear some encouraging messages about beauty, and leave comments that are thoughtful and respectful.
