I loved the use of comics in the lesson this past Friday. Comics are definitely a medium very relevant to students today. Though comics may not be as popular as they once were every student encounters them regularly when they see the funnies in a newspaper. The lesson was lacking some organization in certain areas but using comics was a great choice.
I would have liked to see the lesson require props. I've been noticing that whenever teachers do not require something students rarely do it. Our faux classroom experience is a bit unrealistic in that way because we are all willing to go the extra mile as college art students. Many students in a high school art room are just looking to get a good grade or even a passing grade with the least amount of effort possible. Having set guidelines with very specific requirements is most effective. If there are elements of a lesson plan that aren't required I think it should only be suggestions for what students can add if they finish early.
