This final week I've chosen to utilize an OISE inspired idea. In each of my classes I ask for about 8 volunteers then I hand out "m³" sheets. I tell them that this being our last class together that I'd much appreciate their feedback. I let them know that "m³" stands for
"most memorable moment" and ask them to write down something they might take away with them through my teaching their Art classes for the month. I am clear to mention that they can make both positive and negative comments. I also inform them that they do not need give their names. Finally, I have a sealed shoe box with a slit in the top into which they can deposit their m³s and I tell them that I will only read them once the week is over. Well, I didn't keep my word (but I really do not know who made which comment). I was just too curious to know their thoughts. Here are a few:
I realize these three grade 7 examples are all fairly gushing. I promise to post three not so positive comments once I ask students from three grade 8 classes to do the same.




Oh my word Steven, when you do something...you do it RIGHT! I love the M3 idea and wish I would have stolen that sooner from you...but alas, tomorrow is the last day.....sigh*
ReplyDeletemaybe its not too late??? We will see if there is time in math class tomorrow-ugh!
Hey Steven,
ReplyDeleteThis is Sarah :) I really like that very OISE inspired idea. Its always nice to get positive feedback from the students! By the looks of those comments it appears you had a very successful practicum!
Looking forward to seeing you Tuesday,
S
Great student comments Steven! Seems like you definitely got a chance to connect with your art students. Great idea with the M3, a good way to wrap up your practicum with some direct student feedback.
ReplyDeleteSee you soon! :)
