• Allow additional time for preparation of arguments (in-class or as an assignment) and panel discussions, asking students to research their photograph in more depth and reference specific findings in their response (see Photography Unit Research handout for related texts and resources), or to incorporate digital media into their presentations.
• Present panel discussions as a school or public forum (see our Information for Teachers), allowing additional time for introductions, presentations, roundtable discussion, and questions from the audience.
• Arguments may also be turned in as written summaries, response papers, or media presentations.
