Lesson Topic
Animal photography
Lesson Outline
We started outside with the group Valentines activity but Christopher preferred to go indoors, so we went inside and compared interesting things on both of our MacBooks. I shared images and videos that I have taken underwater in Madagascar, pointing out hard corals and soft sponges. We put this into context of animal versus plant cells since corals and sponges are sessile animals. Animal cells have cell membranes but plant cells have cell walls.
Since this is our first time learning together, we also looked at some Marvel and Sonic illustrations and worked in photoshop to modify images from the internet. I work in PS pretty frequently. Christopher learned how to crop an image to only the part needing edits, so that editing in detail is easier. I was happy to see how computer literate he is and how quickly he could find images he wants by changing up search options on Google.

Lesson Comments
Apart from Marvel and Sonic, it was hard to identify any core school subjects that really interest Christopher. He didn't seem to want to play with the other children, or maybe he just wanted to talk to me in his room our first session. Although he said he doesn't really care about animals, he lit up when I told him I live in Africa part time and was interested to see my underwater photography.
He has a keen interest in PhotoShop and I think I might be able to best serve increasing his interest via a photography and photo-editing special course each week, if his parents agree.
