ACCOMMODATIONS and MODIFICATIONS
Students may type their critique responses rather than write them during the activity.
TEACHING PROCEDURE
Beginning
The teacher will give students a few minutes to add finishing touches and turn in any
missing work before the critique. While students are working, the teacher will give each
student a number. The teacher will have a separate set of numbers in a container to mix
up and choose from in order to randomize the order of the critique. Students will set up
page 30 in their notebooks for the critique activity.
Middle
The teacher will begin the critique by calling out a number. The student with that
matching number will have their work shown on the projector screen. Students will
write down the name of the presenting student in their notebooks. The teacher will show
the student’s alphabet photo collage, and the students will spend time looking and then
writing down what they believe the strongest and weakest of the photos are, as well as
why they believe that. The teacher will then show the student’s word photo collage and
ask the student about why they chose to create that word.
End
During the final minutes of class, students should begin inputting their critique
responses onto the form on google classroom. The teacher will remind students of any
upcoming due dates, as well as what will be covered in the next class.
Reflection
How do you feel about this project? How did you use your time, both in class and outside
of class? What is something you struggled with? Why? What is something you would
change if you could? What do you believe to be the strongest and weakest photos in your
set? Why? Why did you choose to create your word?
