The American students' self-portraits.

Earlier this year, our American friends from Chicago sent us these amazing portraits. The French students spent a class discovering them with great excitement! Here are some of them!

This year, the Seconde Européenne students visited an exhibition of William Eggleston's photographs at Fondation Henri Cartier Bresson.

Their assignment was to choose four or five photographs they

 particularly liked and write an imaginary story. They could choose 

an external narrator, write in the first person singular or even take

 the point of view of an object. Here are a few of their stories.

 ENJOY!
