Communication Through Memory- Joe and David's Lesson

This lesson was interesting, but I feel like it was a rather rushed drawing process. I feel like students who would be doing this wouldn't necessarily be happy with the drawing that they created for their partner. It had to be rendered rather fast due to the information that was given by your partner. I think it's a good practice for maybe a final drawing later on. This was the drawing that Taryn made for me:

My memory was being in the car holding one of my new puppies on the way back home from picking them up. I actually think Taryn did a really good job at drawing my memory.

There were a few issues as far as using the materials, which were kind of like oil pastels. I didn't really like using them and didn't understand really how to get the finished results that were shown in the teacher samples. we found out later that the teachers themselves had put a little more time into their drawings, which was fine, but it would've been nice to tell us not to necessarily rush the process.

The other thing that I had an issue with was the packet, I thought it was good that all that information was provided for us, but neither one of them went over it. I think it would've been helpful to have the terms explained or examples given on how we could use the terms. I saw the point of having that worksheet to work on, but I found it distracting and couldn't fill it out because I was listening to my partner and answering her questions. I kept getting distracted by that. It was also really noisy in the classroom and I had a hard time hearing what my partner was asking me.

I think it was an interesting idea in discussing communication, it just needed some tweaking.
