 * What role does each member play in this community?
 * What does it mean to be part of a community

//**SUGGESTION :** To build a foundation for this discussion, show pictures of various community groups. This will motivate ideas and create a talking point.//


 * Place the students in groups of 3-4.
 * Have the students make a list of possible photographs they would like to take to capture elements of communities within the school. (REFLECT : On Previous Lesson - What is a Community?)
 * Introduce the students to the structures and how to work the school resourced cameras.
 * Set a schedule for students to use the camera over the week.
 * A follow up lesson on editing photos will be done before students will be given a due date for the groups to upload their photos to the class website.

//**SUGGESTION** : On the class website, prepare a TAB for 'Our Class Communities' and have sections for each group, for them to be able to upload their photo onto. See// [|Our Class Communities]

 * What characteristics distinguish this group?
 * What factors connect the members?
