Goals! Goals! Goals! 15 August 2011 Visual Arts

Goals! Goals! Goals!

Today we discussed classroom goals.  Students were introduced to their Think Pads (sketchbooks) and we discussed their use.  Almost daily, we will be performing a task or warm up in the Think Pads.  This will encourage student's critical thinking, brainstorming, writing, and innovative skills.  Students entered the class goals into their think pads and spent the class illustrating the goals in an effort to personalize their Think Pads.  Think Pads are tools for the students.  Please consider them the gears that run the machine.  Think Pads assist students in larger projects and create a resource for self discovery and expression.
