My First Lesson

On the first day of my short practicum I was asked to plan a lesson for the following day’s Multimedia class. At first I was incredibly stressed at having to plan something on short notice and for teaching high school students for the first time. While I was trying to think of what to do with the students I decided to take a chance and do an activity that I’ve enjoyed doing myself before, as well as one that I’ve had success with teaching elementary students through the Writers’ Exchange. I was pleased with how the lesson turned out and think that the students were able to have a lot of fun with it. We did a surrealist-themed lesson that began with a word association game in pairs that led to the creation of absurd surrealist-style drawings, and then did a class-wide round of the exquisite corpse exercise, which requires each student to draw a segment of a body, without knowing what the previous person contributed to the drawing. The results are bizarre human-monster-hybrid beings could only come about through the collaborative process!
