So, as some of you know already, my daughter shoots with me (she uses the PowerShot SX30 IS while I use the dslr). She's learning a lot already.
Anyway, I offered to give my kids each "points" when they work on their talents and hobbies. Those points can be turned in for extra fun rewards when they save them up. For this daughter, I offered her the chance to earn points whenever she does a write up on what she learns from photography. It was a fun write-up even if not really perfectly accurate. Her understanding is starting (and TBH, mine is only a bit ahead of her probably!).
Anyway, her write-up was fun to read, and I was proud of the little 10 year old. So here it is for your ignoring or reading pleasure:

-------------
Aperture: Make sure with Aperture, that you set your aperture just the right lighting, and look on the viewfinder, to see the lighting, and if it is reasonable, or not.
ISO:Make sure that the ISO isn`t very high, like 1600 when you are taking a photo, or your photo will look to light, and it won`t focus right.
Shutter speed: Make sure that your shutter speed isn`t too high when the photo you are taking is bright, or else it will let TOO much light in, and totally bleach out the photo, so all that you can see is bright white.
Tripods: Make sure you always have a tripod with you, and make sure that if you are taking a portrait, than you don`t move the camera, or else your picture will only turn out REALLY blurry, and unstable. also ALWAYS use a tripod!
Lighting: Make sure to remember, to position lighting differently, and to make sure that if part of your picture is dark, have a filler flash to fill in the rest of the darkness, or carry along with you a small little mirror, so you can reflect the light in different places.
Composition: Make sure to compose a lot of different kinds of shots, so you`ll have a very nice variety of photos, and not the same one all the time.
