This is a mini-lesson for my older students. You'll need a digital camera with a manual setting or some sort of setting for photographing objects up close (the flower setting).
Start
with my video intro:
*NOTE*
In my video I talk about the f-stop, but I am incorrect in saying
that as the f-stop gets higher the lens opens more, it is actually
the opposite. Sorry!
Now
here is a tutorial for you to read about aperture.

And
now for the assignment:
Take a
photo with a low f-stop (aperture). This should create an image
where your focal point is in focus, but the background is blurry. In
order to really get the most out of the fuzzy background- think about
patterns or color that will help bring focus to the focal point. The
final part of the assignment is for you to utilize the rule of thirds
to create a pleasing composition. Put your focal point in one of the
intersections of the thirds lines.
