Your goals for today's Photo Safari are as follows:
The letter "G"

Choose one to start with:

  • EASIEST:  Focusing on signage, take a picture (macro) of every letter of the alphabet.
    • NOTE:  No two letters may be taken from one sign - you need 26 different signs.
    • Look for differing font styles, colors, backgrounds, etc.
    • Talk with your partner(s) about a strategy you might use.

  • HARDER:  Focusing on signage, take pictures (macro) of "verbs" - action words
    • NOTE: No two words may be taken from one sign - get as many as you can
    • Look for differing font styles, colors, backgrounds, etc.
    • Talk with your partner(s) about a strategy you might use to increase the number of verbs you can find

  • CHALLENGING:  Find the letters of the alphabet in nature instead of on printed signs
    • NOTE: Each letter must be constructed in a different manner.
    • Talk with your partner(s) about a strategy you might use.
