Your students attitude/reflection

Getting the learners to work together on
the composition stage was a challenge
they had never done any huge work.
However when they could visualize thewhole drawing they where fully engaged
with some coming almost everyday to
ask me if there where emails from Japan
Here the children where fully engaged
they where impressed by the otherschools work they loved it. We evenmade a list of new vocabulary todescribe the work. At this point I feel thelearns appreciated the concept of thisproject.
the children where so proud of their work
after it was displayed.
