Alphabet photography assignment

Hi Computers 9!  Now that you have had several class periods to take your alphabet photos, we are ready to start compiling our work into the final project - alphabet photography collages.

By Tuesday (our first class after the Thanksgiving long weekend), you will be responsible for handing in the following:

1. Your folder of original photos (all the alphabet photos you have taken)
2. A collage of your first name
3. Five (5) word collages that suit the alphabet photography genre and have some sort of a theme (ie. Live, Breathe, Love, Dance, Music, Determination, Inspire, Imagine, etc.)
