Photo 'Words" Activity

During today's lesson, 26/Jan/2010, our activity involved using a digital camera to produce an image which would illustrate a word, out of a list of 21 words, Alima, Dionne, Sammie & I took photo's for the following words...

Claustrophobic - in this image, Alima is not only portraying that she is claustrophobic through her body position behind the door, but her facial expression is also 'shouting' out for help. Her crossed arms and tight fitting between the small gap emphasis' that her movements are very limited and that she has no space.
Happiness - in this image, Sammie, Dionne & I are displaying happiness through our facial expressions from seeing our 'exam results'. We are all focused on the pieces of paper, rather than hiding it away in dismay, although this is a still image, it is clear that, through my open mouth, sound was being produced of possible screaming :)
Confusion - in this image, though Dionne's and Sammie's faces are hiding, their position's portray confusion (or the sense of being lost.) As Dionne's head is at a tilted position, we can assume she is 'searching', as well as Sammie, who is 'searching' in a different direction. Through Alima's blurred expression, it portrays that she is in confused state possibly because she is unsure of what Dionne & Sammie are 'looking for'.
Depression - in this image, Sammie is showing depression as she is not revealing her facial expressions yet is holding tissue to her eyes; suggesting she is or has been crying. Also, as the image was taking from a high angle, is makes her feel at unease and much smaller than those around her. It also creates an atmosphere that she is being spied on, which then tells us she has isolated herself because she is so upset.
Calm - this image simply portrays this word though the still images. Though a person has been captured in this image, they seem neither static or disruptive which creates this sense of safety/calm. The environment is also clean and clear, and shown from a great distance which shows the calmness is constant and all around the image.

Disorder - in this image, Dionne & Sammie are throwing pieces of scrunched paper to each other instead of working. It is therefore obvious, as there is no authority in the classroom, i.e. a teacher, the students have taken the oppurtunity to create disorganization by messing about.
