Great point! I find that when I actually do a project along with the kids,
they are a lot more motivated and excited. My middle school students are
doing a still life painting and I am painting right along with them - they
love it and I get a little extra practice (we all know how little time we
get for our own work)! One word of caution: stay one step behind them,
especially on projects that require completely original ideas. They will
tend to want to copy you.

"When I start a unit I can show slides of past student work to try and
get
them interested. Then take them on the journey through the steps to get
to a
great finished product. Do it with them and let them know that you
think it
is worth your time as well."
