Todays lesson had several positives and negatives in my mind. I personally really enjoyed that I got to know my partner better. Megan's memory was rescuing her cat from a shelter when she was younger. I learned her cats name, where she got him, what she likes about him, and her feelings on rescue shelters. The communication used in this lesson was really wonderful, not just getting to know the person, but learning to verbally portray and image so that another person can accurately draw a picture.
Some of the downfalls of this lesson were definitely the medium used. Oil pastel was too much for sketches, and made me somewhat stressed about making a final product in one class period. They are also a little difficult to use in such a short time period with the amount of paper space we were given to use up.
Beyond the medium I think that the worksheet could have been explained in much more detail. Neither Megan or I really understood at first what we were supposed to be doing with the worksheet. The teachers got right into the lesson plan very quickly and it took everyone in the class a little while to catch up and figure out exactly what we were doing.
