So, let me break it down for you.
13. Step 1
• Take a photo of your favourite place.
• It can be here or there, now or then, inside or
outside…
• In other words - if your favorite place is somewhere
you go every summer (or winter), you can use a
digital photo you have taken before.
• Where do you love to be?
14. Step 2
Finish these two sentences:
• “This is my favourite place because …
.”
• “When I’m in this place, it makes me think of (who?
what?)…
.”

photo

16. Step 4
• Now… the Release Form is available from your
teacher or from me. [wondas@hotmail.com]
• Get your parents to sign and mail the release to
me. We can’t use your photo without a signed
