In Classroom

• In the first half of the year, students had difficulty completing their performance task, mini-blog post, and even documenting their process on a WordPress site.
• Structures that were in place was not enough to help students stay and complete a task. When I started introducing more scaffolding structures, graphic organizers, and questioning/discussions protocols students started to give in more quality work.
• Design Thinking Process Worksheets helped students to write great artist statements that explained their process for creating their artwork.
