| Barbara Roosken - 'Designing photo essays when reading short stories' |
Photo essays are a great way to practise students’ positioning and composition through different perspectives. This webinar explores how thematic photo essays may be used as an assessment instrument for literature. The presenter will share findings from her research on how photo essays may promote literature appreciation. Participants will leave with ideas to improve students’ creative abilities and critical thinking.
