teaching environment

I have learned so many things this week that I plan on taking back to my classroom. The brainstorming (prompting) activities and the critical thinking and questioning techniques are the most important thing that I can translate into my teaching. I came to this class struggling with keeping all of my students engaged and helping them to be creative on their own. I also really enjoyed learning how to use new materials in making projects, such as the powdered graphite, wax paper drawings, and the many transfer techniques. Of course, the altered book project will also be a must-try activity for my AP students. I have really enjoyed all of the new information I learned through this course and also taking the time to create art again. I can't wait to see how my students translate these activities in their own way.
