Cathy, you have found a wealth of resources here.

The PDF you link to in the beginning is a fabulous resource. It provides a good model for teaching photography. When teachers are new to a concept (like many of us are to the concept of photography), we need as much scaffolding as we can get. Since I don't deal with film photography any more, I would go digital in certain places, for sure, and would add a computer-based slideshow component, using a tool such as Slideshare or MovieMaker to present.

As for the content area links you've provided, these look really good, and I appreciate the more research-based nature of these. Photography seems fun, and it's good when we can show people that there are sound pedagogical reasons for integration.

The paradox idea is neat, and it allows students to really "focus" on their topic. (As opposed to telling students to take pictures of pretty things they see in school. There's no focus and meaning-making would probably decrease.)

Your second idea is bigger and more complex, and I would definitely use the first resource (PDF) to help structure a "connect across the curric type of project."

Great ideas, as always. :)

Kim
