Well First You need to cover the inside of your camera and the lid  entirely with black . Then you cut out a square on your pinhole camera ( big enough that your index finger can fit). then you cut out some aluminum foil and tape it to the pinhole camera from the inside.Once that is done with a needle you make a small hole. Then you need to make the flap to cover the small square on your oatmeal can!

10. Explain how "strong action" verbs enhance a caption

13. Explain what characteristics of a good portrait are.
14. Explain what the major differences are between newspaper and yearbook.

Definitions you are responsible for (I highly recommend you post these on your blog with the definitions and make sure they are correct, many of the ones you posted on your blog previously were INCORRECT. All definitions need to relate directly to photojournalism. Example: many of you defined burning as "pain that feels hot as if it were on fire" , when the correct answer is "burning- increases the exposure to areas of the print that should be darker."):

1. Aperture
2. Shutter
3. Exposure
4. F-stop
5. Single lens reflex
6. Negative
7. Positive
8. Contact sheet
