My experience with this photo essay was good. In the beginning I did not mind taking pictures that pertained to my topic, but I was struggling to connect the photos with the topic I had chosen. I picked a topic that, for me, was hard trying to find pictures that illustrated my purpose for the photo essay. I think it would have been easier if the students could have been able to get photos from the internet. After I started writing the photo essay in a PowerPoint, it was easy. I had never done a photo essay before and scared it would be hard; however, I enjoyed doing this type of essay. This essay was different and a whole lot better then writing the 8 to 10 page research paper.
