| Literacy Through
Photography (LTP) is the classroom-based educational component of FotoFest International.
LTP is a writing program designed to help classroom students achieve
better writing and communication skills through the use of photography and visual imagery. |
Teachers are provided with carefully designed
lesson plans that offer new writing techniques, basic photography
skills, and effective teaching strategies that transform the
classroom into a stimulating environment to give students
the confidence to express themselves through writing, and
believe what they write.
All LTP lessons are aligned with Texas-state
mandated curriculum requirements for students in third to
12th grades. Students increase visual and verbal literacy
while building cognitive thinking skills, self-esteem, and
awareness of each other. The LTP curriculum provides students
with meaningful subject matter to help them write about their
own photographs, their own lives, with confidence. |
