My United States Biennial Curriculum Available March 8th!
|
|
Currently participating LTP teachers will receive a free copy of the curriculum which focuses on an
exploration of the role photographers and their images have played – and continue to play – in shaping,
entrenching, and challenging assumptions about American social life and culture in the United States. The final projects created by students using the Biennial
Curriculum will be exhibited alongside traditional LTP projects at FotoFence 2010 on Saturday May 9th.
Teachers not currently participating in LTP are welcome to purchase the My United States curriculum
for $50. Please contact the LTP office at 713-223-5522 ext. 11 or ltp@fotofest.org for more
information or to receive a sample lesson. |
LTP Curriculum Training Workshops
|
|
| LTP has reinforced and strengthened many of the skills our third graders are learning in their writing class and has given students the opportunity to express their creativity through a different art form... The opportunity to focus on higher-order thinking skills such as making inferences and drawing conclusions through “reading” photographs has also greatly supplemented our school’s focus on critical thinking. We are grateful for the experience that our third graders have had with LTP this year. |
| -Deb Shifrine, School Leader, KIPP SHINE |
