What we did & Learning objectives!
To learn how to critique and reflect on design choices such as Logos.
To learn how to create a rough product design in fireworks.
What went well?
This was a good lesson and I feel the main areas that where good where as follows.
I was able to get the pupils through a fair amount of work and to keep most of them on task it was good to have the pupils onside with the activities and they really enjoyed making their logos and product ideas.
I was able to offer good positive praise for each of the pupils that where doing good work and this was effective as it built their self esteem and showed that I showed interest in the,
I was able to set a good home work.
I was also able to scan around the room to see what pupils were doing and to try and keep them on task I felt that I dealt well with pupils that where lagging behind and encouraged them to get up to speed.
Students Learning
This was mainly the use of adobe fireworks and how to come up a good product. It also gave them a chance to plan and prepare for what a product would look like. I was really happy with how they on the whole they progressed well with the concepts of how t use shapes and colours to design their idea.
What could have been done better and what will I do about it?
I need to work more on the low level disruption during my demonstrations.
I must not generalise when it comes to getting pupils to be quiet I need to pin point them and write their name on the board.
Students Learning
I feel I could have taught them more with fireworks and I was not able to get the product logo installed correctly which the pupils picked up on and commented.
It was good to see the pupils reflecting well on each of their pieces of work.
I need to keep practicing the program that I want to demonstrate like fireworks.
Feelings
This lesson was much better than my previous lesson and is reflected in observation of my lesson.
