Dear Vicki,
Thanks so much for sharing. I can understand why your students find these
projects
to be keepers. I teach junior high also, and I'm sometimes discouraged when I
see
projects in the trash. Many of these trashed projects have an A on the back
of them, but the students don't seem to have a reason to want to take them
home .
Sometimes I think it's because of the home life of the students, and no one
at home puts any importance in art. Anyway I keep plugging along hoping that
my
students will be excited about their work and want to share it. I am always on
the
look out for projects that will meet the standards, teach something and also
wow
the students. I haven't been on the list for very long, but I have found many
useful
tips and ideas. Thanks once again Vicki and everybody for sharing.
