TEACHERS REFLECTIONS
Asif: The project did a great job of motivating students to learn. It was interactive; something all my
students love, and it was differentiated in that each students was assigned a task that they enjoyed and
could manage completing. The cooperative (student created) groups provided the students a means ofinformation gathering before the teacher. Students at May love working on computer and creating movies.They never thought they could bring what they already do at home and incorporate it into curriculum and
instruction within math and science.
ARTISTS REFLECTIONS
Suzanne: I hope the students learned as much as I did. I found their creativity inspiring and was amazed at
what they were able to produce in such a short period of time. They should be proud of the 11 PSAs theyproduced. Next time, my goal is to get to know the students better, one on one, and Im also wanting to
spend more time with them working on our writing and interviewing skills.
