Planning your workshop was a great insight
into what we would say bad and good teaching is. As a group we discussed these
bad and good teachings and all had stories to tell with the reasons...
Example of bad teaching:
-
Reading
out exactly what is says on a PowerPoint slide
-
Can tell they don’t want to be here either
-
Unprepared sessions and always having an excuse
as to why they aren’t prepared
-
Vacuum voices
-
Picking out favourites/favouritism
-
Rudeness or sarcasm
-
Speaking for far too long – speaking length
-
Supply teachers never teaching or making us
learn it’s just mock exams all the time
-
Pushover teacher
-
Lack of control
Examples of good teaching:
-
Passion
-
Balance of fun and learning
-
Engagement
-
Generally got to like them
-
Mixing it up a little
-
Asking questions
-
Taking something a little boring but tweaking it
to make it not so boring
-
NO SILENCE- music, relaxed atmosphere
-
Making conversation with everyone or at least
willing to try and make it with majority
-
1 to 1, making it clear you’re here to help for
each person’s learning styles
-
Personal relationships- speaking about personal
life
-
Bringing a lesson to life- hands on and physical
-
Stages – chunking it
-
Making it interactive- not just staring at a
board or book.
The 2nd part of the session was
about our workshops coming up next week and to get our groups together and plan
what our aims and objectives are going to be for this workshop.
Definition of aims and objectives.
AIMS = what is to be accomplished
OBJECTIVE = How it’s going to be
accomplished
Before we started to figure out what our
aim and objective would be, the group was talking about the suggested ideas
that we had did on the Monday...

| Notes- Group talk. |
We decided that we wouldn’t use black paper
it would be white paper and using black media instead, as a group we didn’t
like the idea of buildings as we thought the kids would find it quite daunting
to draw a building. As the urban group are all textiles students we liked the
idea of mark making as a better and more creative way to produce buildings. We
all loved the idea of mark making instead of actual drawing as we all prefer to
create marks to actually detailed drawings in our designs. The work produce
would then come together as a patch work / collage of all the kids drawings
coming together to make an urban environment.
From that discussion we loved that idea so
much more and was ready to start thinking of what materials to use... as its
about mark making we didn’t want the kids to use pencils or paint brushes we
wanted them to think a little on how to make a building look like one through
the use of marks, examples of different marks been created by using simple and
everyday objects that would be in your home.. (Example of sheet)
Now we have decided on workshop that we all
like and feel comfortable to produce and decided it will be based on mark
making we needed to get the materials now, we knew that Z-Arts is a after
school club for the kids but we didn’t know what kind of facility it was. Would
they have glue? Water? Paper? So from that we really needed to get a shopping
list together and get buying!
We made a little shopping list as to what
to get:
-
Diverse paper sizes A4, A3, A5
-
Tooth brushes x4 - Sponges CUT UP
-
Plastic cups - Glue PVA
-
Black paint - Ink
-
Charcoal - Cardboard pieces
chopped up
-
Old fabrics/ cloths - Plastic forks
As from Monday it was suggested the moths
would be on sticks but the peppered moths group had produced a mock-up of the
peppered moths and how they would be placed is with Velcro. So we needed to
bare in mind to buy Velcro and to stick it on the urban environment when the
kids had finished there drawings.
