One workshop that would work for me…

My favorite lesson demonstrated was the one that was actually developed for high school students.  I will be implementing it, but it will not be one I can report on because it will take more time than there is to share lesson and results in this blog.  The lesson was demonstrated by April Niemela, “Ekphrastic Expression”.  I’m going to use this practice to “wake up” the love of writing in my students and I am going to use her  “show and tell” idea to encourage all of my student to appreciate themselves and take ownership and pride in who they are.

One workshop that would challenge me…

The same workshop will be my challenge.  I will have to reconstruct it to fit 8 year olds instead of 15 year olds.  But I am very excited to give it a try.
