Candy Compositions- Mia and Rebecca's Lesson

I feel like this lesson was fun, but a big risk and there were some snags in executing it. This was my candy composition that I made:

I had the Beatles song "Across the Universe" and used the line "Images of broken light dance before me like a million eyes..."

I think the part of the lesson I had the hardest time with was during the demo. The demo itself was really well done and helpful, but halfway through it, I was wondering what we were making with the candy, I really had no idea why we were watching a demo on making things with candy.

My second issue was the choice of songs. I do like the Beatles, but I think limiting it to one band and their music is not going to sit well with your students. I understand that there is the possibility of inappropriate content if you let the student pick their own song, but I'm sure that can be worked out somehow because I think a more personal connection to the song could be helpful in making the artwork.

I think the energy during the lesson was prevalent, but we were also eating a lot of the candy.
