Creative photo art projects around the Ugly Duckling, a children's book, can open students' eyes to seeing life within an entirely new way. In this lesson, students will photograph old, rusty, discarded and unusually placed items found everywhere.

(Note: If the school doesn't have photo enhancing software, then Gimp, the industry free download, works extremely well.)
