Is a picture worth a thousand words?

In this project, students explored how images can be "read" and the ways that photos are created to convey meanings. Students were asked to think about the age-old question, "Is a picture worth a thousand words?" while working on this project. Learning was centred around class and small group discussions, close readings of visual images and the production of photographs to convey a particular idea or feeling. Final photographs, along with written reflections and responses, were compiled into a class anthology. [Source : Literacy Today website]
