Notice/Wonder

9/19/2019

Here's what students in Ms. Holland's class had to say when looking at examples of student art:
I notice...
they have 3 colors
there are different textures on each one
the designs are different in them
some look smooth and some look not smooth
the lines look like they used tape
all the different shapes
some parts are so dark
I wonder...
how they stopped the color from spreading
did they use paint?
Are we going to do this?
how the paper didn't tear
who made those
how they mixed the colors
if they used a lot of water
how it's going to turn out and if we can do that
who is in my group for making this

Start with Collaboration

Teachers across Humboldt, Del Norte, Mendocino and Lake counties are beginning their school year with students learning how to collaborate. Teachers use the "How to Collaborate" poster/protocol to teach students the six steps of working with others towards a common goal.

Cutten 6th grade teacher Ms. Cook remarked, "I noticed that the students were quickly able to collaborate on what color palate, texture and design to use." When asked about her students' use of the Creativity Skills, she added, "Develop Craft was developed as we broke down techniques for watercolor, color families, and texture. We used Notice and Wonder when we examined the student examples prior to and during the project. The students Reflected as they co-wrote their reflections. Envision and Create was used as the students first developed their own ideas about the project and then, through collaboration, were able to create a product that was greater than any one idea. The students were Engaged in the project and Persisted, even when the tape (which they had linted) started peeling up the paper. They found ways to keep the damage minimal and to even repair artistically. Ideas were Integrated when the lesson linked mathematic areas and patterns with the art space and design."
