This past week in field has been so much fun!! The teacher has integrated writing with art. Each time a student finished a final draft of a writing project she has them do a "publish" which is a visual/art project to go along with the topic of the piece. It is a lot of fun to see the creativity of all the students and so many ideas. It definitely makes me miss being in Elementary School.
We were also able to teach our first lesson this past week and included an art element. My partner and I were teaching on WWI and the 4 main causes of it. After the discussion we had the class split up into 4 groups and each person in that group had to draw a picture depicting their assigned cause. We didn't quite have enough time for the students to finish all the pictures, but they were turning out really well as we had them clean up. I believe we have another art project included in our lesson plans, so we'll have to see how the students respond to them.
