This week was my time to shine. On Wednesday, students from 826 MSP came to the MIA to create their own book, which meant I was able to illustrate their story. I sat in the corner observing the environment and sketching out the cover of their book as the students were storytelling. While I was illustrating, I noticed a neat trick the facilitator did. When the students got a little rambunctious, they asked the students what their teacher did to get their attention. Obviously the facilitator could’ve used one of their own methods, but I think it was really smart to ask the students. That way the students are more comfortable and are able to share their input in how the class is run. Overall, the event went great. I can’t wait until next week when I can compare and contrast with the week prior.
