Photography - Article Summary

If you look in the "O:\Beens\TGJxx PhotographyBB Magazines" folder you will see a number of magazines which have been downloaded from http://www.photographybb.com/magazine/.

Choose any one article from the magazines that interests you and that you feel is not too advanced for you to understand with some study. The topic does not matter.

To be sure no one else is reviewing the same article, please enter the details in this spreadsheet (sign-in req'd).

Read the article and use Google Presentation to summarize the "facts" in the article. Name this file "Full Name Course Code PhotographyBB Article Summary" and share it with your instructor (as editor).

All your entries can be in point form.

On the title slide of the presentation, enter:

    • your name,

    • the title of the article,

    • the magazine issue, and

    • the page number.

On the individual slides, enter "facts" you learn from the article. Try to minimize the content on each slide to a simple concept, and remember that phrases are better than sentences.

Include at least one photo in your presentation, taken as a screen shot from the article, or from another source, as long as it is suitable and representative of the article. Be sure to cite the source of the photo.

Include a summary slide detailing your impression of the article, and whether you think the article is suitable for the class. Finally, give the article a "star rating", out of five.
