What is a Photo
Essay?
A photo essay is a collection of images presented individually or in
groups on a series of slides.
On some of the slides there is text explaining the content and background
of the image, or you can narrate some background information with the
images.
Sound can also be added, for example music or brief extracts from
speeches, or radio broadcasts from the time.
As the author, you can use the evidence of the images, selected
information from different published accounts, and even brief
extracts from document sources,
to tell the story of the dismissal of Gough Whitlam, the Australian Prime
Minister.
You could use this web site as a starting point for your research :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Australian_constitutional_crisis
Length :
3-5 minutes
Presentation*
: You will be required to bring your photo essay on a USB thumb drive
(or CD) and present your essay to the class.
(The only oral component is an optional, brief introduction to the class
before you play your essay, and then answering any questions the teacher
or students may ask you at the end of your 'essay'.)
Date due : Two weeks from today.
