- Objective: Students will learn about the aperature on a camera, and how it affects the amount of light let in, the shutter speed, and the depth of field.
- Procedure:
- Introduction: Introduce my topic, which is photography. Ask the class what they know about photography, specifically the aperature.
- First I'm going to explain what the aperature is, a diagram of the different sizes, and why the small numbers are the large opening and vice versa.
- Next, I'm going to explain the f-stops such as how the number relates to the focal length and shutter speed. Also, I'll explain how the different aperature opening sizes (f-stops) let in different amounts of light.
- Lastly, I'm going to talk about how the aperature affects the depth of field by using photographs to show the class what narrow depth of field is, and what great depth of field is. Then, I'm go show the class a diagram of why a large aperature creates a narrow depth of field, and a small one creates a great depth of field.
- Check For Understanding: Some of the concepts are hard to grasp at first so I'm going to use pictures and diagrams to give students a visual to better understand. Also, throughout my presentation I'll ask to see if everyone understands or needs me to explain it again.
- Resourse/Materials: flashcards (maybe), pictures, diagrams, and maybe draw something on the white board.
Sounds good.
ReplyDeleteYou might have more than you need (which is a GOOD thing). Just make sure you watch the clock. This first time out, you don't have to go into a lot of detail. This first time, the tendency to do too much is sometimes difficult to work with.
