Conference

Share something that you picked up from someone at the conference and how you implemented/plan to into your classroom in the forum. Share the impact on student learning with our community in your blog. How did it go? I gave more choice to one of my paper cutting projects. I told them they go do something more difficult than a cartoon character if they would like. I still want them to determine the positive and negative space. It went ok, some kids were able to pick something more tailored towards their liking, but some picked pictures that created the positive/negative spaces for them. One student chose to draw her own design. What changes did you need to make? Just giving them the choice, but then trying to real them back in when they wanted to do different size paper or use different materials. Sometimes you give certain kids an inch and they will take a mile. How could someone else use it? Choice can be put into almost any assignment/project.
