My Childhood Photography Research Paper

For everyday pictures, you can mix things up by telling a story with your photography. Instead of snapping pictures as they happen with no influence on the shots, this style of photography involves planning and executing your vision. The storytelling is completely up to you.

The 1930’s were filled an enormous sense of vulnerability and angst because of the horrifying events of the Great Depression and its impact that it had on the society and economy of the United States of America. People of all classes, races, genders, and heritages were struck by the tragedies of the Great Depression. However, with new advancements in the technology of photography came a new hope and outlook for the future of Americans. The introduction of colored photography along with organized photographic groups and their impact took the World by storm as the realization of normal citizens being impacted by the Great Depression set in.

Due to phonemic awareness, which is concerning or involving the discrimination of distinctive speech elements of a language, speaking and spelling words is difficult at times. This can cause dyslexic children to have a hard time in social situations. According to Artemisa Shehu, Eralda Zhilla, and Eglantina Dervishi in their essay “the impact of the quality of social relationships on self-esteem of children with dyslexia”, about 5% of primary school children in the U.S. have communication problems and 3.8% of children aged 8-11 have a phonological problem. At around this age, kids become more self-conscious about what they do or how they look. If a child cannot read or speak very well and gets picked on about it, their self-esteem is harmed. This is challenging, because if a child is not helped, they will think the dyslexia is their fault. In the same essay it states, “Dyslexia is a problem that makes the child feel ashamed, because they cannot perform the task properly and it makes the child feel incompetent in the eyes of parents, feel lazy in front of teachers, feel stupid in the eyes of friends, and guilty at the sight of them” (Shehu, Zhilla, and Dervishi). These children with learning disabilities usually get named as “special” children with “special” needs. A young child trying to fit in with their peers finds it very difficult when they are constantly thought of as

My MYP project topic is Photography. I am researching photography because it is a subject that really interests me and that I enjoy. Photography falls under the global context of Personal and Cultural Expression because it is a form of art and a way for people to express their creativity. Throughout this MYP journey I hope to become a better photographer and explore more of Washington D.C. Some questions i’m trying to answer for this project are, What are some restaurants in D.C that are highly favored? What are some cool places I should visit in D.C? How can I become a better photographer?

I was born in Merida, Mexico. That special day my father was in prison, he would leave our family by my fourth birthday. It would take me eight years to reunite with him in America. With two sisters and a single mother, I became the man of the house at a young age. Neither of my parents finished a high school education. I held my first job at age seven cleaning windshields at stoplights for any available change, in an effort to alleviate my mother’s burdens. My life experiences have taught me resiliency, hard work, and determination.

Ja'mari is a 3rd grade student attending Lake Forest Elementary Schools of the Art and Sciences. He participates with non-disabled peers in an inclusion classroom for the majority of the day. He is a very sweet and kind student who is willing to work on any task that is given to him. Although Ja'mari is willing to work on any task,he struggles to be confident and social with his peers and adults. He requires prompting, verbal encouragement, one on one support, task adaptations to complete assigned task. According to his recent I-ready results, Ja'mari overall scale scores increased from 404 to 449. He made a 44 point gain. He is making tremendous progress. His strength is in Phonological Awareness. He tested out. Ja'mari has demonstrated the

Literacy, whether it is reading, writing, or listening, can mean many different things to people. Each form can impact everyone immensely. In 2016 I had a literacy encounter that made a lasting impact on me. That summer I began babysitting John, a precious five-year-old boy, for the sole purpose of building up my bank account. Since both of John’s parents worked long hours at the hospital, John did not get to spend as much quality time with them as he or they would have liked. I felt badly for John, so I made it my goal that the time I spent with him would be meaningful and memorable.

Nyasha was very withdrawn as she began her Y Readers journey at Reid Park Academy this summer. Since kindergarten Nyasha experience difficulty complying with school wide and classroom expectations. She had few positive interactions with her peers during the school year. Consequently, these challenges impacted her academics and school experience in a negative manner. However, Nyasha is not as inhibited since she has found her voice through writing this summer. Nyasha’s literacy skills have developed into grade level expectations and she has cultivated positive relationships with her peers and staff. She has attended camp every day and the family has completed more than the weekly required literacy activities. Y Readers

Let us begin from the very beginning, I was born in Medellín, Colombia on May 29th of 1996. I do not have biological siblings, nor did I lived long with my father, since he moved to the United States when I was quite young and I could barely remember a thing. Most of my childhood, my mother and I tried to visit him in the United States as often we could—and as often as our pocket would allow us. In fact, we tried on several occasions to remain in the country (U.S.), but our nostalgia for our homeland was greater

June of 2005, I came to America. My family and I ended up in Palm Springs, California, broke, without a home, and absolutely clueless on what to expect. Years later my mother would tell stories of my rebellious behavior as I had a tough time fitting in with the rest of the children; I would always lock myself in the car to avoid school and cause massive tantrums in classrooms when my mother wanted to leave me in a room with people whom I could not even communicate with. I am grateful for my parents bringing me here because if they had not, I would not be who I am today: a young adult with a very distinct knowledge of the side of the world that no one tells you about.

Since its inception, photography has been used to capture moments in time all around the world. This wonderful technology has existed since ancient times, and has only improved in recent history, changing society in the process.

The name "Photography" comes from the Greek words for light and writing. Sir John Herschel, was the first to use the term photography in 1839, when he managed to fix images using hyposulphite of soda. He described photography as "The application of the chemical rays to the purpose of pictorial representation". Herschel also coined the terms "negative", "positive" and "snapshot".

What is a photograph? The simplicity of taking a photograph leads many to ponder its artistic value. Yet, it is undeniable that there are some photos that cause an emotional reaction deeper than simply observing a recorded point in time. Surely, there are photographs that cause more reaction than some modern art pieces. There seems to be two types of photographs. The first classification is the ‘time capture’ photo – an image with the sole purpose of recording a particular event or point in time. The second nature of a photo carries a ‘deeper meaning,’ which has the ability to change the observer’s mood and cause a reaction. But what distinguishes these two varieties? There are a

For years, I convinced myself that the story of my life began when I arrived in America at eleven months old. I tumbled through the clichéd white-picket-fence childhood, never realizing how impossible it was to completely discard the first year of my infancy. While I had always known about being adopted from China, I did not fully comprehend the weight of this detail until my late teenage years.
