New Jersey/Texas LTP Collaboration (2009-2010)

This blog is a collaboration between USA (New Jersey and Texas) middle schools to help students achieve better communication skills through the FotoFest Literacy Through Photography (LTP) program (Houston, Texas). It involves writing through the use of digital or film-based photography.

Students increase visual and verbal literacy while building cognitive thinking skills, self-esteem, and awareness of each other. The LTP curriculum provides students with meaningful subject matter to help them write about their own photographs, their own lives, with confidence.

FotoFest has combined with the instructors and schools to pursue a pilot program ... blog approach ... for LTP.

Participating Schools
