Your students attitude/reflection
Subject
Students showed interest and enthusiasm social
in learning about the Japanese culture ITand traditions.

Enthusiastic and confident that their ideas
and opinions were being heard and taken
into account. A bit stressed because we
had little time to decide what to paint sothey could start drawing and painting.

socialIT

We worked collaboratively ingroups each team was in charge of
one of the rays and they decided
who would draw and paint and whowould write the description or
explanation of the paintings.
Team leaders were in charge ofdrawing and painting, first they did
the sketches and worked with theschool principal to get his input
and then they started drawing andpainting.

Students worked effectively un teams,
they worked together as a team, in pairs
and individually as well. They enjoyedcarrying out their commitments for themural.

socialIT

Students really enjoyed the work they did,they used every free moment they had topaint, it was done in an area wherestudents from all the campus walk by
several times during the day and they
enjoyed explaining what they were doingto all the students who asked.
It was great to have a chance to share it
and display for other to see.
