This is an assignment which can be as easy or complex as needed.
Make a list of 25 photographers who played a role in journalism history. Place the names in a sack and have each student draw out a name. Using a computer lab give them each 10 minutes to learn as much about that person as possible. Print one image that is considered the photographer's most famous work. Share their findings with the class at the end of the period. If you have an overhead projection unit, show other images as the students present.
This makes for an intense webquest/history assignment that energizes the students after a long school break. This project can also be made into a more complex assignment. Have them prepare a powerpoint or oral presentation with images for support to share with the class.
Sample names: Stan Honda, Matthew Brady, Anne Geddes, Margaret Bourke-White, Timothy O'Sullivan, Edward Westin, Ansel Adams, Frances Johnston
