Lesson 1: Shutter speed is off limits

What is wrong with the photo?
What are my settings that I can change?
Does exposure compensation work in this mode?

Anchor Standard 2: Organize and develop artistic ideas and work.
Anchor Standard 3: Refine and complete artistic work.

Critical analysis
Organization
Cause-and-effect selection

Students will understand the relationship between the three fundamental settings of the exposure triangle (ISO, Shutter Speed, and Aperture) and how to manipulate them to achieve a balanced exposure. Students will understand that true creative control relies heavily on the artist's ability to override automatic camera functions to fix or enhance an image.
This is a DOK level 2 skill. Selecting and adjusting multiple settings to balance an exposure requires a basic understanding of the exposure triangle and how to manually manipulate the camera to achieve a desired outcome.

When students study photography and become more adept at technical skills, they are more likely to grasp differences within a piece of artwork as well.
Mastering manual exposure allows students to intentionally capture environments with diverse, challenging lighting conditions, preserving the authentic atmosphere of different spaces.

It is easier to use a different setting. It is easier to let the camera choice the settings.

Teacher or para will help student change setting from one to another.
Guided learning, scaffolding, student groups

Advanced learners will work on experimenting changing two out of three settings.

Student will demonstrate their understanding of the relationship between three fundamental settings and obtain balance in a photo. Students will deomonstrate  the understanding that if you can not change the shutter speed you have to change another side of the triangle.
