Not a picture, a screen shot. In a moment of madness (or brilliance??? I proposed a German course based on photography, and I will be teaching it this coming winter semester! It's not a photography course, it's a language course, but we will be using photography as a springboard for all discussions, will take pictures and talk about them, etc. It's coming very very very soon, so I am starting to panic and surely need to start setting it up!!!! It's going to be fun, at least for me ;), but hopefully students enjoy it too. I have stuff in mind, but if you have any ideas - I will be glad to hear!
Brilliant! It sounds like a lot of fun. Once you have the outline of the language principles, vocabulary, topics etc laid out, I’m sure photography projects will come to mind and fall into place. I remember years ago, a fun party I went to where we formed teams for a scavenger hunt out and about in the city with Polaroid cameras and reconvened at the set time.
Congratulations! Will it be face to face, or online? Advanced German, I presume? I wish I knew more than a handful of phrases and good menu vocabulary so I could participate, but alas, no.
Great idea. Perhaps you can have a regular event of students bringing in a photo of something they would like to be able to describe/discuss better auf Deutsch, then working with groups/class to discuss various ways to use words to convey the object/scene. Later, maybe assign random photos for a fictional short story/paragraph writing assignment. This sounds like SO much fun. If I weren't still working....
