Many students become discouraged and drop out of school.
While they may not be able to tell you orally or in writing, they can 'picture' it in their heads. Using a digital camera and a photo-quality printer, students will become photojournalists. While the traditional method of photography would be too expensive, with a digital camera students can take the shots as many times as needed until they become 'picture perfect'. In a non-graded environment, they will write captions for the pictures. As their writing confidence improves, they will write articles and publish a school newspaper.
