What is the current project? Today was my Second day with Ms. O, The second hour class was working on two point perspective. They were using paper, pencils, and rulers to complete the drawing. The students are making houses, along with the two point perspective the students are required to draw an architectural plan of their home. I was surprised to see that most of the 8th grade students understood the project. I did help one individual specifically with his pool; he had a few lines that were incorrect. I simply asked him if some off the lines looked incorrect he said yes so and we worked together to fix the lines.
The image on the left is the board that Ms. O uses to keep track of what is planned for each class and it is a way for the students to see what they should be working on. During my day I talked to Ms. O about teaching my lesson next week. We decided that I was going to teach the first part of my lesson next Wednesday. The students are going to find an image (portrait style) of a person of their choice. The student are going to edit these images in Photoshop to use for the "Complete the Drawing" assignment. We also discussed some of the activities that could lead up to the final drawing.
How does the teacher get their attention to begin class?
At the beginning of the class the teacher begins with a warm-up activity to get attention or simply addresses the class on what they are going to be working on in the future. The instruction does have access to a smart board but only uses it for Power point presentations.
Rules?
Classroom rules are not posted in the classroom although at the beginning of the semester the instructor will make a list, with the students, of classroom rules to be used during the course. I did notice that the schools code of conduct is posted in the classroom.
