‘Writers, like photographers, are image makers.’

We teach our students to write using words and sentences that create a desired effect. You might encourage them to zoom in on a small moment, focus on a specific detail, or experiment with a new point of view. The language of writing has a natural link with photography.

In Focus Lessons, Ralph Fletcher makes this connection clear. He offers new ideas about how this link can enhance your instruction.

Using a camera as a writer’s notebook
Taking pictures to spark creativity
Learning to ‘read’ images as mentor texts
Helping students develop writing from photos

Ralph also shares fifteen craft lessons that draw on the photographic world. Each lesson highlights a different technique like creating tension, using arresting details, or setting a mood. Then he shows how to achieve each one - in both photography and writing. SamplesPreview sample pages from Focus Lessons
