 * Name: ** Roma Soni  **  School ** : American International School-Riyadh   ** Date ** : 3/01/09
 * <span style="color: #548dd4; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Gill Sans Std';">1. In general, how successful was the lesson? Did the students learn what you intended for them to learn? How do you know? **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Gill Sans Std';"> Yes, I think the lesson was successful. The students were supposed to brainstorm and create a web to plan a still life artwork with objects that related with their own lives (likes, dislikes, hobbies, interests, culture, values and personal lineage). They were also supposed to include a research on still life artists, art styles and art history. The students created a plan in their journal using all of the above steps.
 * <span style="color: #548dd4; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Gill Sans Std';">2. If you have samples of student work, what do they reveal about the students’ levels of engagement and understanding? Do they suggest modifications in how you might teach this lesson in the future **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Gill Sans Std';">? The samples of student work show that most students are highly engaged and understand the lesson well. They have expressed their individuality, skill and talent. Some of the students have not put in their very best effort in their project. In the future I will need to differentiate further for those that need even more attention and assistance.
 * <span style="color: #548dd4; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Gill Sans Std';">3. Comment on your classroom procedures, student conduct, and your use of physical space. To what extent did these contribute to student learning **<span style="color: #548dd4; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Gill Sans Std';">? <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Gill Sans Std';"> These factors play a pivotal role in student learning in the art room. In my art room, classroom procedures ensure smoothness in transitions from one activity to another or from one work center to the next and even from one class to the next. This in turn results in appropriate creation of process and product. Proper student conduct in my art room guarantees that students are participating in their own learning and creating an environment for other students to learn. Good use of physical space, when not more than 6 students are seated at one large table, leads towards efficiency in student work which in turn moves them towards learning. Once in a while, there would be a student or two who would try to move around the class to socialize with another student with the excuse of 'trying to get supplies for the artwork' There would sometimes be a student who, instead of raising his/her hands and waiting for me to get to him/her would walk across the room for help. Such incidences could cause distraction in the class room.
 * <span style="color: #548dd4; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Gill Sans Std';">4. Did you depart from your plan? If so, how and why? **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Gill Sans Std';">Yes, I did depart from my plan. Our plan was to create a 'Still Life' with articles from our own home country, after researching and looking at artists from our culture. I changed the plan to make it more meaningful to the students. The artwork would 'NOW', relate with their likes, dislikes, hobbies, interests, values and culture. I think the change helped.
 * <span style="color: #548dd4; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Gill Sans Std';">5. Comment on different aspects of your instructional delivery (e.g., activities, grouping of students, materials, and resources). To what extent were they effective? **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Gill Sans Std';">The activities I plan seem to be well effective, they are meaningful to the students, challenging and involving. Materials are usually not an issue in our school. I have mixed classes of students, with a wide range of abilities. Practically speaking, art needs an immense amount of differentiation. With a very wide range of abilities and sometimes culturally, art not being as important a subject as the core subjects, for students and families, instruction can become a challenge.
 * <span style="color: #548dd4; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Gill Sans Std';">6. If you had an opportunity to teach this lesson again to the same group of students, what would you do differently **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Gill Sans Std';">? I would not begin with examples from other artists, but with ‘connections’ or by keeping in mind that ‘content is king’. In other words, keep them in the centre and create a web of connections, to create the ‘still life’. Making it really meaningful to them would help them create better and behavior management would become much easier.
 * <span style="color: #548dd4; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Gill Sans Std';">7. Consider different aspects of your planning and execution of the lesson in light of the domains and components on the following pages. Determine evidence, if any, for each of the components, and what that evidence demonstrates about your level of performance. **
