====**Directions:** Complete the steps below.

Click the edit tab to begin adding your information and digital images below!====

//** ACTIVITY 1 -- A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, and More **//
1. Break your small group into two pairs or 1 group of 3 and 1 group of 2. Each pair / group will complete the activities below and post your images to the wiki.

2. Let’s exercise your ability to re-see the world in creative ways. With your partner or small group, take 7-10 minutes or so to find the following and take pictures of them with your digital camera:
 * 1 item that represents a letter from the English language alphabet
 * 1 item that represents a number
 * 1 item that represents an interesting image that might look like something else or might just be a dynamic picture or might be a symbolic of something else…

3. Send your pictures to your computer and save them. You will probably want to edit / re-size the image file if it is large. Then post them here using the File upload function once you click Edit.

//** ACTIVITY 2 -- You Gotta See the Book: The YA Novel Photo Essay **//
Using the young adult novel that your group identified, you will create a YA Novel Photo Essay!

1. As a group discuss what you feel are the most important scenes, events, and quotations from your novel. Discuss why they are important and how the contribute to the meaning and impact of the novel on the reader. What is / are the message / messages conveyed through these scenes, events, and quotations.

2. Next, identify a mix of at least 5 key scenes, events, and quotations from your novel which are reflective of a thorough understanding of the novel as a whole. Consider your choices of key scenes, events, and quotations not only as a progression that not only helps tell the story of your YA Novel, but also one that gets at the book's deeper meanings and impact on the reader.

3. Then, search online for and choose images that best represent these key scenes, events, and quotations from your novel. While some may be literal, don't limit yourselves -- be creative and look for images that are symbolic and compelling in representation as well. If your book has been adapted for the screen, do NOT use any stills from the movie adaptation. If it includes pictures or images, do not use those either.

4. You may want to work in pairs in your small group and divide the search for images up after you've identified your key moments and quotes. You may add to the table to include 1 or 2 more images if you want to, especially if there are additional moments you want to include / represent. Otherwise, you need at least 5 moments and representative images. Provide the image source (e.g., title, photographer's name & year; Flickr URL; applicable URL; etc.).

5. Finally, provide a brief annotation explaining the significance of the image in relation to the book, including the quotation if applicable. You may consider personal connections you may have made, but also consider how the image might represent the author's purpose of or intent with the novel. Consider whether the image makes you associate with and reflect upon our contemporary world today. If so, how so?
