Presented "What is design?" 1st period: The goal was to expo examples of what designers do and also show some of our personal interests and work within the 53 minutes. Most kids were attentive, but not as interactive as hoped. Gettse the children to as manying students to interact, ask or answer questions, was like grinding glass, perhaps it was because it was early and they were sleepy? - one kid was asleep in the back room. Ms. Eck helped get them to talk by rephrasing som
e questions into more kid-relevant questions. What I learned - if you want to get middle schoolers to talk design, relate it to mySpace. In the end, we actually had less dialogue than expected, which resulted in shorter presentation than planned. Second period - good class, they were interested, especially in motion and animation. Asking and receiving questions was easy, apparently a few of them want to be illustrators. Aside from one kid in front who was constantly interruptive and actually had to leave class (one disruptive kid can really influence the others around him to be like him), the kids were more interested which made teaching much more enjoyable. I also see Muskan too many times a week because of ArtsBridge.
