The presentation of images of Native American pottery from different tribes and styles was engaging for
most students. It provided a visual reference for the characteristics of Native American pottery, including
shapes, colours, and textures. Many students actively participated in observing and describing the visual
elements.
It would have been beneficial to start the lesson with a more explicit introduction to the overall unit and
project. Students seemed a bit confused about the task at hand, so taking extra time to carefully outline the
project's objectives and how each lesson contributes to the unit's aim could have set a better context for their
learning.
In the research and reflection section, where students were tasked with researching specific tribes or regions
of Native American art, some students appeared to struggle. Providing more guidance, resources, or even a
sample research approach could assist students in conducting their research effectively.

The hands-on exploration and foraging activity in the yard were a highlight of the lesson. It provided
students with a direct and engaging experience in searching for natural objects. The fact that students had a
"lovely time searching for objects" indicates their enthusiasm for this part of the lesson.
The engagement of students was evident, as they actively enjoyed the activity of finding natural objects. This
hands-on approach helped connect the theoretical knowledge about Native American pottery to a practical
and real-life context, making the learning more tangible and memorable.

As students seemed to enjoy the outdoor exploration, it could have been beneficial to take the activity a step
further. Encouraging students to make rubbings or drawings en plein air (outdoor sketches) of the natural
objects they found could enhance their connection to nature and provide them with tangible reference
material for their future artwork. The issue with the board not connecting can disrupt the flow of the lesson.
It would be helpful to have a backup plan in case of technical difficulties, such as printed images or visual
aids.
