GR. 8 DESIGN

  • Today students participated in a Think-Pair-Share activity where they discussed their Simple Invention Research Assignment with a partner and answered the following questions in their process journals:
    • What is the name of your partner's chosen simple invention?
    • What does their chosen simple invention do?
    • Do you agree that it is a simple invention? Why or why not?
    • Would you use this product? Why or why not?
  • Students then worked in Mastermind groups to come up with innovative solutions to every-day problems. 
ALC2O
  • Students took advantage of a work period to complete drawings of the Principles of Design last day.
  • They also utilized any time left in class to study for their Quiz next week!
GR. 7 DESIGN
  • Students were introduced to the Elements of Art and used the rest of class time to draw examples of each in their sketchbooks.
  • Write 5 sentences explaining the similarities and differences between the Elements of Art & the Principles of Design.
  • Anything not completed in class is due for homework on Monday!
