Perpich - Residency - Kathryn D’Elia - 6 hours
I was out of town Monday for my session at AVIVO this week, so I only participated in the Perpich residency. I was very eager to see the student’s work for the project that I assigned. Upon arrival to class I had students fill out a critique form in order to brainstorm questions and topics before we met as a group. I also did this for the purpose of documenting participation for students who were more shy. These forms also helped in my assessment of the completed work.
I led a critique that rotated three pieces at a time in the front of the room. I encouraged the students to lead the discussion as I paraphrased when appropriate. Overall, the finished work was very impressive and creative! I was so pleased to see students thinking outside of the box. Although the lesson was fulfilling, it was a bittersweet end as I finished grading on Thursday and parted ways with Perpich. Working with Kathryn and her students was incredible.
