I love working in Mrs. G's class. The kids have a lot of positive energy and are easy to engage, and eager to participate.
In the previous project we sent a message using words:
This time we discussed sending a message- with no words. Mrs. G mentioned this class is very verbal but think everything must be explained with words, lots of words!!! So this exercise was to help them see things more visually.
The children are working in groups, in TEAMS. Carefully divided teams evening out skill sets and personality mixes. Each team has a different dynamic.
Here are some of the 'messages' they came up with:
The third group's message is also clear, and a little more revealing about its authors as kids.
The last group had a hard time gelling their thoughts into one idea. They wanted to show 'fun things that you can up-cycle plastic into'- but in the end each did their own thing.
It was a useful exercise in that, when they saw the results side by side they could tell their imagery wasn't as powerful as one simple message. It was a good point on the side of teamwork.
