This class was similar to the last class that we taught for second grade 1A in regards to the intent of the lesson. The purpose of the lesson was to introduce ourselves to the students in a fun yet thought provoking way with the hope that they would take what we had to say to a higher level of thinking to spark ideation. The students started out by looking at our images and then work collaboratively to decide whose art was whose. After they finished deciding as a group which name when with what image, we asked them to hold up their images and tell us how they came to their conclusions. It was definitely a fun experience to see the students be fully engaged in this activity where they were able to take what we had said before and apply it to the next level of thinking of matching it to the artworks placed out then to explain their thought process. Transitioning into the next activity, we decided to bring them up to the front of the class for them to get off of their feet so that we could introduce their sketchbooks. This ended up being really fun because its always interesting to see how they ideate and why they draw what they do. All of the drawings that we noticed stemmed from ideas that had been in close proximity to their current lives. There were a ton of drawings from movie characters or YouTube stars, and others would involve people or pets that were in their current daily lives. A couple students decided to draw flowers or things outside which was interesting because this involved all genders. When asking a particular student what he was drawing, he said that he was drawing the Hulk. After a while of letting him draw on his own, he ended up adding other characters from the movie Avengers. We then asked the student if we could take a picture of his work which actually sparked his thinking process even more and he replied with, “ Yes.. wait.. not yet. I need to add people and decepticons” This showed how invested and interested he was with the activity and how what we say effects the ideation process of the student.
