Yearbook Photojournalism: We Need a DSLR Camera!

My students need a camera for the yearbook class. The only camera available for use is a digital camera without an interchangeable lens. Other than that, students use their smartphone cameras, which limits photo variety/quality.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students are motivated, creative, and dedicated to their school and projects! Our school has 14 CTE programs, the most of any high school in the city. My students are in various CTE programs, which makes for an even better contribution to class discussions and projects. They are energetic, and have definitive college and/or career goals.

Although I listed that 33 students (the class size) will benefit from this project this year, the impact will be more widespread.

There are approximately 250 students who will benefit, as it relates to their yearbook. Continuously, this project will continue to benefit all of the students in the school, as successful funding will add resources that will be used beyond just this school year.

My Project

As part of the yearbook curriculum, students learn about photojournalism and receive an introduction to digital photography. They learn vocabulary,and what makes a great storytelling photograph. By only using the camera on their phone, they are limited in the ways they can apply what they have learned about photojournalism.

Great pictures are a combination of the photographer and the technology used!

For the yearbook, we design and layout 128 pages for publication. In order to do that, we need many pictures (thousands!) in order to be able to select the perfect ones to tell the story of the year.

Please help my students expand their knowledge and experience by donating so that we can have one camera to share for the class. The reach of this project is not just 33 students; it will benefit all of the students in not only the senior class (about 250) but also all the students in the school (about 1200) because this technology will last for many years to come.
