This year I am using some of the portraits from our Picturing America series for students at ACS to compare characterization through images and words. My inspiration for this year's writing contest comes from discussions with my 7th grade class as we prepare to script and shoot a "mystery movie." We talk at length about the advantages and disadvantages of telling parts of our story through images, dialog, or narration. Which tells us more, which engages the viewer/reader more, which is more revealing.
