Week: 7
1. How did you spend your time this week? What
responsibilities did you have?
Art II: Students finished up their final projects (a replication of a
modern work of art) and any projects from the semester that were not
completed. Students took a test over contemporary and modern art. I
helped the students review for their quiz, and I monitored them taking
the quiz. On their final day, the students presented their final project.
Each student described and explained their process of replicating a
modern piece of art. During their presentations, my mentor teacher
and I took notes to compare with each other later when deciding a
grade. The students were graded on their presentation and their
actual piece (from a rubric). It was interesting to see how alike my
mentor teacher and my notes were and how we had the same rough
grade for each student.
Jewelry I & II: Students finished up their final piece: a riveted,
soldered, negative space, and textured piece of jewelry/metal.
Students also worked on their previous projects that were not
completed yet. I helped the student review for the test, and I help
monitor during the test on their final day. One of the things that stood
out to me from this class was grading a final test from one of the
students who was frequently off task. This student moved half way
through the term, after most of the procedures and terms had been
taught. We modified his assignments so that hed be able to catch up
and still understand the concepts and standards. This particular
student was frequently off task and unmotivated to complete
assignments. Me mentor teacher and I emailed home to let his parents
know about missing assignments, and he did end up turning things in
but they did not showcase his abilities. I was shocked when I graded
his test, and he missed only 1 point out of 91. Only one student did
better than him, and she got 100% right. Most of the students who is
was off task with during class missed 20-30 points, where he only
missed 1 and got the 2nd highest grade out of the entire class. This
was very unexpected when thinking about his work that he turned in
and his behavior during class. This tied into some of the PLC
conversations that weve been having about standard-based reporting.
Although his work did not necessarily show his abilities, his test results
proved that he knew the processes and concepts.
Ceramics I & II: Students finished up all of their projects that had
not been turned in for a grade yet. I helped load and unload the kiln
constantly so that we could get everyones work fired. It was amazing
to see how everyones final pieces came out and how different
