Evidence

 

The first classes on Monday and Tuesday, students had a chance to develop a narrative correlating with their vignettes by participating in a creative writing session. This purpose of this lesson is to allow students to further identify the storyline behind their vignette, tapping into their creative mindset. I provided ideas for them to ponder. I gave examples of different creative writing styles that other artists have used: poems to express feelings they were trying to evoke; others wrote down key words and phrases that prompted them to think about what they wanted to convey to the audience. Some artists wrote a story about their hopes and dreams. My goal by presenting these examples was to open their minds to their untapped potential.

 

Through this creative writing process, as well as their artwork, I was able to assess the students’ work formally and informally by giving clear instructions for their learning process to blossom. By facilitating guided tasks for the students to complete, my instruction directly aligns with TQS III Element B ensuring student success in correlating their writing with their vignette.
