I have to say that Hicks has definitely hit on something here. I think it is a great recommendation for students to take advantage of if their teachers are giving them the opportunity. It seems that it would allow for another level of creativity for the student that they wouldn't normally experience when given a prompt and lined paper. I think it even goes one step further when you take into consideration that the student can also be their own photographer for the assignment. I think a lesson like this makes learning exciting again for students, and they would actually be eager to participate and complete an assignment like this one. If a teacher is able to fit an assignment like this one into their curriculum I can see their students literacy skills benefiting in the long run, especially if you can have your students do it in a portfolio style where they do it a few times throughout the year where they can see how their literacy skills have progressed etc.
