7th Grade Wheel - How it works
Warm Ups20 minutes a day.
We as a class work out, learn and practice 4xs a week. The first 20 minutes of class - I put my brain on blast and demonstrate skills needed to have access to their imagination. This is 30% of the artist grade. |
In Class WorkOnce a week.
After students have mastered the skills they need for the project we are beginning, I have them create an intermediate project to help them repeat the skill they just learned, practice and problem solving on their own. This is 20% of their grade. There are also skills tests and written assessments which make up 10% |
Major ProjectsLast anywhere from 5 to 7 days
Major projects are the product of student learning and expression of their being. I like to do anywhere from 8-12 major projects a trimester. This is 40 % of their grade |
