Hi Thanks Emily,
that sounds do-able... I don't think I could print them in the same
session but could certainly do so by the next one. But the idea of
photographing the area in lots of photos from one spot sounds good...I
had actually thought about getting them to do something similar with
taking each others photo, in a David Hockney kind of way, but some of
them are not keen to have their picture taken, so that idea may have
been difficult.
thanks for your suggestions.
Cheers,
Jonathan

If you're in a moderately temperate place you can take them outside and ask them to choose a place to stand and then take photographs of everything they can see from straight up to straight down while they rotate around the spot they've chosen. Suggest the mobile ones consider lying down, kneeling, squatting, zooming in, zooming out, photographing the others etc. Suggest the immobile ones work within their limitations.
Then, after they've spent 30 minutes or so, teach them about wide, normal and close shots, download all their shots and run them through a slideshow program and have them talk about what they thought they were doing, have the class talk about whether they were successful, whether the images were worth printing, whether they could be made more interesting and how (contrast, saturation, etc.)
Then have them choose the ones for printing and run out to the drug store and bring back the prints and have them compare them with the projected files and see how printing can change their work.
