Photography Prompt Page

The directions are below for beginners, intermediate, and advanced users.

If you are a teacher from //Ozaukee County//, Wisconsin, your theme is poetry.
 * Theme 1: Ozaukee County**
 * 1) Search for your favorite poem. It must be 250 words or less. Print it out and bring it.
 * 2) Get a digital camera and photograph an Ozaukee County park. Take about 30 photos, but select your best shots. You should have twelve to eighteen photos. Bring only your best photos. For an example, [|visit this site]and and click on [**Snowshoeing: Lion’s Den Gorge**]
 * 3) Listen to some of your favorite //instrumental// music. Bring three CDs. But, they must be legal - no pirated copies. I’m bringing:
 * Freedom by Michael W. Smith
 * Whisperings - the Best of David Nevue
 * Gonna Rise Again by John McCutcheon

If you are a teacher who lives in Wisconsin (not from Ozaukee County), your theme is about **veterans in your community**.
 * Theme 2: Veterans from Wisconsin**
 * 1) The //Wisconsin Dept. of Veterans Affairs// site has a nice database of veteran memorials. [|Visit this site]. Search for two or three veteran memorials that are close to your home.
 * 2) Get a digital camera and photograph the memorials. Take about 30 photos, but select your best shots. You should have twelve to eighteen photos. Bring only your best photos. For an example, [|visit this site] and and click on [**Ozaukee County (WI) Veteran Memorials**]
 * 3) Listen to some of your favorite //patriotic// music. Bring one CD with a patriotic song. But, it must be a legal copy - no pirated copies. I’m bringing a CD that has this song: //Fanfare for the Common Man// by Aaron Copland - performed by the Minnesota Orchestra.
