Final day of lesson!




This was the third and final day of the lesson. On the agenda was a discussion/critique of the projects that were completed. Because of a well issue at home, Mr. H. had to leave and a sub took his place. This was good and bad. Although, he would not be here to guide or help me out, I also had an opportunity to run the classroom more so, as the substitute was just there to basically monitor.
The lesson was very successful, and I am excited at the pictures that the students developed (which are below). Not that I doubted the class (but it was my first time teaching high school; I was a bit nervous), but it was a relief to see the paintings turn out so well. The discussion was also successful. We took turns going from picture to picture, where the student said what style they had adjusted, why it needed to be, how it was addressed, and if they felt that it was successful or not. Other students could then comment on the work, highlighting the strong points and what worked well. The discussion was very positive, yet offering some constructive criticism. As I had to make special arrangements to be there today, I was only in school for that one period. Discussion ended on time, and I was am very excited that the projected ended so well, even though Mr. H could not be there.
